The hotel is very well managed and offers a comprehensive continental style breakfast starting at 5am. The staff was very attentive despite some challenges with room key readers. An amazing Italian restaurant is within walking distance. Great jumping off point for our fly fishing group!

The property is being renovated so understandable that there may be issues. In the room we received the toilet was leaking and they were great to move us to a different room although the second room was smaller and there was an issue with the air conditioning unit. We were able to open the window which was helpful but

When we checked in, the woman had a hard time explaining to us where we were staying. Turns out we were in a building next-door. She told us we had to take all our luggage outside. To get to our room. But it turned out a bellhop was there and he said we could go across a indoor connecting walkway. I could not get our TV volume on for quite a while. There’s only one night stand. It’s very disappointing for $200 a night.
