WOW! What a gem! From check-in to checkout, every staff person was friendly, helpful. Not one single complaint; do not remember when that last happened at another hotel. The decor is fabulous! It was like the a private club but without the snobbishness. Sam in the bar made our day. What a great human being. It was so great, we felt like kids in a candy shop.

Everything was lovely. Our first night felt like the AC wasn’t working really well. The Spa experience was amazing. We went to the pool and the bugs/mosquitos were a little frustrating. Wellingtons was awesome as were the bartenders at the bar. The staff was friendly, courteous and efficient every time we interacted.

We love this property and have stayed many times. Rooms are huge and it’s a beautiful historic property. I would say an update on decor wouldn’t hurt, but that is just a matter of taste and preference.

The hotel interior is beautiful and the rooms are very clean and spacious. The staff was very nice and accommodating. The only issue is the passing of the train with it's horn blowing what seemed like every 2 hours all night. Otherwise, we will be back. This place is great!
