2nd Stay - Still impressed!

Our 1st stay was in May 2021 for our wedding night, and we were excited to be back for a friend's wedding to stay again. The rooms are great and clean. The beds are incredibly comfortable. And the staff are very hospitable & respectful. Love it all and will happily come back in the future!

Not as advertised - *Queen suite*. Poorly furnished, poorly lit, rickety Motel 6 style furniture. As I glimpsed the other *Queen suites* on my floor, felt like I'd experienced a true bait and switch. My money and time were poorly spent.
