My wife and I wanted a weekend winter getaway. The room was clean and comfortable, the staff was great and very helpful. The dinning at Oliver's was awesome. It is a little pricy, but we thought the food and service was well worth the price. We look forward to coming back again.

This property was unfortunately not a good experience. The hotel room was nice and beautiful however the facilities were bare minimum inaccessible the staff was rude the food was an edible and when we tried to take the food back they wouldn't give us our money back offered us comp cards for the food however we had no intention of returning so we just lost the money.
