The room is huge, clean, and quiet. They have a heated pool and a jacuzzi, even in November, you can enjoy. I wish the hotel provided a microwave because my kid is very picky, and he only eats pizza. We enjoyed the hotel a lot.

I was checked into a room with a very uneven floor. I have a condition called vertigo and it triggered my unbalance. I was told I would get a call to come back to the property for a room and was never called and never issued a room.

I’m in my third room because the first one had no working phone and no working tv. The room was still in the process of being remodeled. It had the carpeting removed and thrown out the window in the rain. The second room had no working tv and again was in the process of being remodeled. The third room has a smaller bed.

The place was spacious and full of surprises at every corner. There are so many events that are put on at this place, options for places to get good spirits (drinks), great historic items there and the staff are amazing. Thank you Dennis and Jimmy for a great experience, your professionalism and fun conversations. Only thing we found that needed attention was our room door was not in a good condition. Next year our car group (SoCal Celicas) will definitely try to host our event at this gorgeous place.
