Great location for a beautiful hotel. We really enjoyed our stay. Would stay again. The onsite hotel is a bit pricey though

The Stanley
Internet, WiFi, breakfast and staff were all excellent. The room was small and there was no dresser or closet for hanging clothes, so we had to live out of suitcases. In all other regards, the hotel was very good.
