Room was very clean and maid service was great, always clean towels and beds made up. Staff at hotel were extremely accommodating and allowed us to extend our stay and remain in the same room. Hotel also allowed for Amazon deliveries. A HUGE amenity since we live OOS and were moving out daughter into a new apartment. As a Mom, it allowed me the ability to receive some last minute items that we needed. So appreciated!! Also location was excellent!

We went in the heat of the summer. Because of that, it was quiet and relaxing. We enjoyed the pool and there were only a couple of other couples there at the most. The property is beautiful and our room was clean and very comfortable. Location was great, only a couple of miles from the university and near other stores like the zoo. We look forward to coming back there and would definitely recommend.

Absolutely gorgeous grounds and the staff was lovely with an exceptional bartender as well as food+bev manager. They absolutely made my parents stay and they are still talking about it. Rooms were clean and the layout of the whole place is very charming. Feels isolating and relaxing even though it is in the middle of the city. Definitely coming back!! Pool was fantastic as well.
