What our guests are saying

My husband and I decided to ring in the new year at this beautiful establishment. From the smooth check-in experience with Scott, then greeted with a smile and champagne from Russell (he is hilarious), we knew we chose the right hotel. It's a beautiful property with impeccable customer service. The room was inviting with the most comfortable bed EVER!
The next morning we had a delicious breakfast. David and Keith were professional, attentive, and guest-focused. It was the perfect way to kick off 2021. Honestly, none skipped a beat with pandemic protocols in place! Thank you, Scott, Russell, David, and Keith for making the beginning of 2021 so memorable! Outstanding!
