It truly is a lovely hotel, the area is delightful and the attention to detail, especially for our pup, was thorough. My only complaint is with the restaurant. Service was extremely slow, we waited over 40 minutes for our breakfast after having waited a bit too long to order. That was unfortunate. But having said this, I would come again.

This is a criticism of Expedia, not the property. When I booked the stay, the room said it had “multiple views”. However, that apparently meant a view of a wall and a driveway. That is not a view. There were unfortunately no other rooms available for my boyfriend’s bday getaway so we had a view of nothing. Thanks Expedia.

We are grateful for the upgrade at the desk, after hearing it was a 42 year anniversary. We thought the coffee maker was complicated, and rendered either espresso or Americano, neither of which we care for. A Keurig would have been more suitable. We have resolved to bring our own coffee maker in the future.
