Ryan, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great place, close to several distilleries. The themed decor is spot on. Excellent restaurant, bar and other resort style amenities.
Kenneth, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The hotel is very pretty and updated. Having a heated pool and hot tube open all year is a plus. The other amenities are an additional cost. What I was disappointed in was the size of the rooms, the heat ac are very loud, if your room is faces the expressway you hear the traffic and the room needed a detailed cleaning. Which is disappointing since their price point is about $80 or so more a night compared to other local hotels in the area.
Dirty greasy hand prints on door to bathroom.

The hotel is very nice, clean and in a good area. The only disappointment is the restaurant. The food was good, but the portions were small and over priced.
