Lovely property, clean, nice staff and the Firelight Camps as a neighbor was so much fun. We were able to be at campfire and have smores (3.00 a pack) and then head up to our hotel! Loved it.

We loved staying at La Tourelle! We found the entire resort to be very charming. The staff was very friendly and welcoming too. We also used the spa facilities for treatments and relaxation. It was so nice to have this available. There were also nice touches like coffee all day in the beautiful lobby, and a lounge. There were also many places that were walkable to visit or sit with a glass of wine. We also felt that the value for the cost was excellent. We highly recommend staying at La Tourelle and hope to return soon.

My husband and I loved our stay here! So cool that you can just hike right into Buttermilk Falls State Park from the property. The grounds were so pretty, and there was live music and a food truck one night. We would love to stay again and take advantage of the spa next time!

Pretty location, nice lobby and grounds, close to downtown and many sites. Coffee and cold water always available. The staff was very friendly however they did not monitor the coffee or water supply and often had to be asked to refill. The door to the bathroom didn't close. The AC was very loud and made a noise that sounded like a fog horn. The key cards had to be re-scanned several times a day. They charged $7 for a breakfast that they should have been embarrassed to offer for free. Extremely limited selection. It has a lot of potential but some things need work.

Lovely hotel

Beautiful property. Clearly had been renovated recently - our room was spacious and beautiful. Friendly staff. You can walk to the trails behind the property to see waterfalls (and arrange for pickup by the hotel if you don't want to walk back). We did not get a chance to use the spa.
