The stay was perfect. The hotel is established and you feel the history and class when you are walking in. The hotel staff is always available from unpacking your car and delivery your luggage on arrival to picking your luggage and packing your car back during departure. The service is incredible. The restaurant and bar are good with the variety of choices.

Unforgettable Stay in a paradisiac environment
We enjoyed our time in this marvelous hotel every minute. It was one of the most memorable stay, the hotel being an architectural highlight and disposing of a highly professional staff. The spa is as impressive as the beautiful environment of the hotel.

Excellent! Would return- no hesitation
Overall very pleased. Hotel’s location & room’s lake view were fabulous! Breakfast buffet was excellent. King room was a good size for 2 people. Room price included pool & spa amenities which were clean & outstanding. Absolutely no complaints except this one - The mattress was old and uncomfortable due to a large sleepers indentation. Definitely time to replace the mattress in room 310!
