Summary: Picked this place for my 25 year wedding anniversary wanted something special didn’t mind a higher price because it looked spectacular online. It was much smaller of a place in person than the description/pictures, online, the room was very nice, although not as clean as I would have wanted it to be that I could overlook. However, the outdoor bathtub had not been cleaned at all a few things like the stopper in both indoor and outdoor tub were not in proper working order I fixed it and cleaned it myself lol the stove top only works with their appliances, good to know now and it had a convection oven/microwave which the microwave didn’t work. I was frustrated. The hotel did make that right they gave me a discount for my stay. The things I love the most was the electric kettle and fireplaces. The surrounding area is not very nice your balcony overlooks apartments, and trashy, hotels,it looks like they made a really nice space in the middle of a not so nice neighborhood, but the price of this room with taxes and fees for three nights was $1910. I knew it wasn’t going to have a view, but I was hoping it would have been better than that. Oh yeah and it’s wide open and I literally ran face-to-face into a bear in the hallway scare the crap out of me. That’s nothing against the hotel of course just something crazy that happened. All said and done I don’t know that I would stay here again unless they reduce their prices heavily. I did like it. I was happy with my stay.
