This was my 2nd time staying with you and it did not disappoint! I feel a world away from the hustle and troubles of real life, if only for a short time. We love having coffee at the pool and the signature scent is so lovely and comforting. I had to buy a candle to bring home and one for a friend too!

beautiful hotel
Stinson, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

While the hotel is dated and small, it is a quiet, little place. I would score it higher, but the lighting in the bathroom was pretty poor for putting on makeup and such. The mattress definitely showed major wear making it difficult to sleep without being pulled the middle of the bed by both sides. Other than this, I would recommend this hotel. There are less than fifty rooms, all of which circle the pool which looked very nice and inviting-quiet and tranquil. The staff were super nice and accommodating. There is a restaurant onsite and seemed to be quite popular without being a “party scene”.
Susan, 2-night trip

Have stayed here numerous times and it’s an experience every time! Great staff, great atmosphere, try different rooms, explore the property, enjoy the restaurant and order everything. No need to leave the premises. Spa services also a great experience it’s a fair and great place to stay that offer great value!
