Excellent hotel. Very clean, convenient and the staff is just amazing. Helpful and courteous. Definitely will stay there again
At check in we were told the pool was closed until further notice, it was on of the reason why we booked the hotel. Staff was very friendly and rooms were clean and comfortable
We are her to check out a wedding venue (Bill Miller’s Castle) and this is really the perfect place to stay. Plenty of rooms and incredibly convenient. I think it will serve a good portion of people attending the wedding next year.
