Other than a few snags this would be a 5 star review. AC in room didn’t work, kids jacuzzi was broken, and there were no towels stocked at the pool Sunday morning until about 10am. Beautiful quiet place with great views. Restaurant was top notch.

Long wait to check in. Room was not very clean and seemed old. Room was also Very noisy- sounded like AC compressor right above our heads and went off every few minutes. You could hear rooms around us running their water. Would not recommend to anyone.

I appreciated the setting. It was where my dad went to High School. People were very welcoming and friendly. The View was a lovely setting. I wished I had reserved the room with an outside deck. I missed sitting and enjoying the view. Thank you for a good time.

Though check in was fairly easy, I was disappointed by the room which was small and dated. The bedding seems worn out and the paint on the walls were chipping off. The bed was not supportive or firm. The outdoor jacuzzi had a broken jet and the spa jacuzzi was out of service. This stay was not worth the price point.
