Reviews and Ratings
The hotel's rooms were beautifully decorated and very clean and comfortable, but they were quite noisy due to the proximity to outdoor air conditioning units. The service was wonderful overall, except for a brief unpleasant encounter. The location is second to none with its stunning views of the spring and old world charm. The dining experience was great with notable dishes, despite slight disappointments. The facilities met expectations.
I loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were spacious, with big closets, marble floors, and a wonderful lack of TVs, which I found refreshing. However, being above a generator did make it a bit noisy at times. The service was exceptional, with a small town country home feeling that made me feel right at home. The location was absolutely stunning, right at the head of the spring in the State Park, perfect for nature lovers. The dining experience was good, especially with the availability of gluten-free dishes. Overall, a great value for the money.
The hotel is an amazing place to stay, offering enormous rooms that are very clean and comfortable. The service is outstanding, with staff who are more than happy to help with any request. The location is exceptional, off the highway for a quiet and relaxing atmosphere, and offering fantastic access to nature and wildlife. The dining experience is excellent, especially with knowledgeable staff serving delicious dishes. Overall, a great choice for a memorable stay.
