This hotel is very expensive by anyones standards. It is some, but not an impossible distance from other towms.

Cute place. Didn't start in the cottages. Stayed in the main hotel. Didn't get in the pool. Had a nice firepit in the center of the cottages. Cute little river view from our balcony. No air conditioning so we had to leave the doors open until we went to sleep. Didn't get during the night so that was nice

The grounds are beautifully decorated and inspire serenity. For the price though, the carpet was stained, the side table lamp had a terrible odor, the tiles in bathroom were coming off and the tub sealant was cracked. We did enjoy the location of our room, the fireplace, the breakfast and the service was excellent.

The rooms are large here. I stayed at 3 properties in the area and this was by far the best. There was so much room we could fit 5 piece of luggage, have space to work and not trip in our stuff.
I loved the restaurants and Dust Bowl Brewery. Less tourist VS Cannery Row.
Breakfast burritos everyday were perfect.
The hot tub wasnāt working properly and that was the only downfall.
