We had to wait 30 minutes to check in as the person who is supposed to be working the desk was also working in the restaurant. There is a live band that is playing late. The hotel it's self and the rooms are lovely!

Beautifully property. Staff was friendly and accommodating, they upgraded our room for free once they realize I wouldn't be comfortable in the one I selected due to my height (double bed to a king).

Worst Time Ever!!! Never Again!!!
When checking in there were No HP rooms available. I was assigned a room far away from the Main House. We had to lug our bags Up 3 flights of stairs. I am 65 disabled and the person on the counter could not help me get a more suitable room. I drove 3 hours and was tried. The room was outdated and the beds were not comfortable. The shower needed to be updated so people could use the shower in a more knowledgeable way. Special instruction we later saw on a plaque. I thought was a picture.

This check-in was 100 times better than the last time I stayed here. Someone was there at the desk, I didn’t have to wait, and someone helped us get our things up the stairs.
