"The room was clean and tidy. The shower was very small and the wifi didn't work. The bed was comfortable. The doors on the rooms were loud and it was very difficult to close the doors quietly. The '60s decor was cool and the interior of the hotel has been decorated and updated well. The outside could use some maintenance/work to make it more inviting from the outside. Convenient to fuel and groceries."

"This hotel is really fancy and nice. The hot tubs outside and the sauna with beautiful views. The rooms are lovely and the restaurant food was excellent. The staff was friendly and welcoming. The only reason I gave it four stars instead of five was the price. It was very expensive and, while wonderful, I don’t know if it was worth the prices."

"Rooms were clean and the views were spectacular. Very friendly staff and the restaurant on premises was terrific. Only thing I have to add was that we were in the main house on first floor. The doors are heavy and make a lot of noise on closing so if you are going to sleep early( which most people do), people that arrive late and drag suitcases and slam doors (in other words, they are not cognizant that people are asleep), you can hear everything. Other than that, it was great."
