The breakfast menu was the best part of this stay. Fresh pastries, good coffee, yogurt, eggs all available to take out, or sit out on the patio in nice weather. BE AWARE of fine print: they charge $17.50 per night for amenities (e.g., pool & parking) whether you use them or not. I was unhappy to find this out at check-in.

It’s a beautiful, garden-like hotel. The staff were very friendly, and check-in and check-out were both quick and easy. My room had a patio where I could sit and relax, which I really enjoyed. They also offer a limited number of free EV charging spots, which is a nice bonus for electric vehicle drivers.

Our room was spacious, clean, and the extras were great. We were given a basket of snacks and a small container of wine. The large sliding doors open to a patio with chairs and a table overlooking walking paths along the creek with trees and many beautiful azaleas. The bed was very comfortable. I would say this is our favorite hotel we have stayed in for a while now. We will be returning to the area in two weeks and will be fortunately staying there again. I highly recommend.

Nice room with comfy bed and pillows. The grounds are beautiful with lush greenery and flowers, and lots of little places to walk or sit. The breakfast in the lobby each morning was very good, with excellent coffee served. I really enjoyed the purified water dispenser to fill my bottle, and the EV chargers are a real bonus too. The little Market on site makes delicious sandwiches. The hotel staff were all very kind and attentive. It was a fabulous stay.
