"Attention to detail, property is a hidden gem, historic southern design."

Exceptional

9.0

Pleasantly surprised by the grounds of the property. Very southern plantation style architecture made it feel historical. Loved the upkeep of the indoor and outdoor areas. There was a yoga class going on outside which made the experience feel very interactive and alive. I can't wait to return.

Can't think of anything. Keep it up.

"All in all, a lovely experience that makes you forget you are up against a freeway."

Exceptional

9.0

Darling decor, beautiful grounds, well maintained, rooms are spacious and comfortable. Nice amenities like hot cocoa at night and coffee in the morning. Restaurant was very good!

Right in the freeway— noisy even on the “quiet” side of the street; yard work and leaf blowers started at 8 am which disrupted sleep. Coffee was not tasty sadly. Gym is cute and nicely laid out.
