I stayed here for my birthday. It’s a beautiful well maintained hotel. The staff are all great. There is a surprising lack of hooks to hang up towels in the bathroom, only one hook so it’s impossible to reuse towels even though that is encouraged for environmental reasons. The tasting menu at L’Ami was fantastic.

Not best experience in this new hotel

Missed my flight and was disappointed that Expedia still invoiced the hotel and I had to pay for a room that I did not use due to missing flight. My reservation was with breakfast which was not visible in the hotel. So I paid 2x for breakfast. Overall very bad experience during this 3 day stay.

I had a very disappointing experience at this hotel despite its beautiful property. Upon arrival, we were told the hotel was overbooked, even though I had a confirmed reservation made in advance. After a long 10–11 hour drive, there was hesitation about giving us a room, which was extremely frustrating. Eventually, we were assigned a room, but it was unacceptable—there were ants in the room, the bed and surrounding areas were visibly dirty, and overall cleanliness was very poor. This was shocking for a hotel in this price range (almost $500 per night). We contacted the manager on duty, and while they did agree to change our room, the entire process was chaotic and stressful. By the time we settled in, it was already very late. The spa experience was equally disorganized. We had a massage appointment scheduled for 10:30 PM, but we were later told it was only a sauna booking. After nearly two hours of back-and-forth discussions, they finally allowed us a massage—but only for 30 minutes. This confusion carried into checkout day, where due to poor coordination and unclear instructions, we were told we had overstayed and had to rush out under pressure. The hotel itself is beautiful, but unfortunately, the service, cleanliness, communication, and staff coordination were far below expectations. For a luxury brand, this level of disorder and poor guest experience is unacceptable. I truly hope management takes guest feedback seriously and improves their operations.
