    friendly staff
    unique ambiance
    low ceiling
    cleanliness issues
    mediocre food

    The covered courtyard provided a unique ambiance for hanging out, but the room had a low ceiling and some cleanliness issues with tile grout and corners. While the restaurant was decent, with some edible options, it didn't leave a lasting impression. On a positive note, the staff were exceptionally friendly and accommodating, creating a welcoming atmosphere throughout my stay.

    comfortable rooms
    great food

    Had an awesome getaway with friends! We enjoyed the beautiful grounds and the fantastic nearby attractions like the art museum and local theaters. The staff were super friendly, and the food was great too! Rooms were comfy, making it easy to relax and unwind after a day of fun.

    Only downside was the tavern staff seemed a bit rude at times, not making the experience as enjoyable as it could've been after a long day of traveling.

    koi pond
    clean room

    The room was super clean and quiet, perfect for relaxation. I loved the refreshing koi pond and the nice courtyards for a leisurely stroll. The hotel felt newly updated and really well maintained. Overall, it was a stellar experience for my solo trip.

    Felt like a true getaway, nothing to complain about.

    The elegant décor throughout the hotel, with beautiful chandeliers and cozy seating areas, created a charming atmosphere that reminded me of visiting an old friend. The indoor courtyards were particularly lovely, providing a bright and inviting space.

    More accessible seating options in dining areas.

    friendly staff
    delicious breakfast
    indoor play area
    upgraded equipment

    Our family had a fantastic stay here! The indoor green area allowed the kids to explore, and we loved the delicious breakfast at the restaurant. Plus, the staff was incredibly attentive and friendly, making us feel right at home.

    In my wife’s opinion, the indoor play area could use some upgraded equipment for kids.

    convenient parking
    kind staff
    basic breakfast
    disruptive noise
    limited dining options

    The stay offered spacious rooms and convenient parking, which was a plus. However, the breakfast was quite basic and the noise levels from other guests were disruptive at times. This location could be suitable for families seeking easy access, while improvements in dining quality and sound insulation could enhance the experience further.
