Immaculate property with a luxury feel. The spa is a must visit for a massage. The Yellow Pony Pub is a fun lively bar and the staff goes above and beyond to make you feel like an honored guest. Definitely will visit again.

The hotel is very good. Clean, elegant, and with great rooms. The only thing I was extremely disappointed with was the breakfast at Stirrups restaurant. Sunday 9:30am with several empty tables and having to make a reservation and after waiting more than 20 minutes to be seated, it took more than 30 minutes for the food to arrive, as one of the dishes ordered never arrived. The waiters avoided looking at the tables to avoid being called upon. Not only the waiters, but also the managers. There was a young man with a beard and a suit jacket who, after being called upon, asked for a minute and then disappeared. It is important to say that all the waiters were extremely polite. I bring this criticism to the public so that the people who manage the Hotel are aware and try to maintain a level of quality, otherwise it will gradually become a normal hotel. Thank you,

I would give them 5 but they have the thinnest blanket on the bed after spending 600.00 I felt like I needed to run to Target to buy a proper comforter go to sleep .The hotel only offered these very thin waffle blankets that reminded us of a hospital bed.This is totally unacceptable for that amount of money.
