I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were among my favorites, backing up to the creek, and offering all the high-end creature comforts like a heated bathroom floor, fireplace, and tranquility, including a bigger room which was very nice upon walking in. The room had a fireplace, incredible decor, an awesome Murphy bed, and a charming wooden staircase leading to a loft. It even had a stocked minibar with cold water, soda, and snacks.

I felt like I discovered a hidden gem at this hotel! Tucked away in the back of the fabulous pool spa area, even when the hotel was full, the rooms were a tranquil oasis with beautiful glass walls and ceilings that brought the surrounding trees inside. The room featured a nice fireplace and a small work station, perfect for finishing up emails.
