This place is dated, especially the hot tub and pool area. The room was dated but clean! It was a very charming place, we would stay again. We loved the continental breakfast. Staff was great! The grounds were very nice!!

There was a small issue with the room, I called the front desk and they made right immediately. There is a concert venue on the grounds and I will definitely be back. The breakfast was hands down the best. We had a great time and highly recommend.

Beautifully decorated for the holidays! Clean and comfortable, but the door to the adjoining room did not seem to have much sound-proofing at all.

Winter Get Away

We wanted a middle of Christmas break chance to get away. I had always wanted to try the Blue Gate and so we stayed here and ate at the Blue Gate restaurant. The lobby was so cozy and inviting that we spent a couple of hours there in the evening, just sitting and reading! It was all exactly what we needed and just felt clean and comfortable!
