| This is a wonderful hotel and definately worth the money. My husband and I went for our anniversary. We were upgraded to a suite at no extra charge and I slept like a baby. Most comfortable night sleep I have ever had at a hotel.

| what a wonderful place. If you ever have thechance, try this hotel. I was impressed from the valet, who took the luggage straight to the room for us, all the way to check-out. There was lemonade at the reception counter, and the bellboy explained all of the hotel's amenities (including the rubber duckie in the tub, which we could take home). The bed had great linens and plenty of feather pillows. The bellboy was willing to fetch any bathroom items we thought we might need, even though it was fully stocked. Even the deck was spotless, and had a beautiful view. They have a wonderful spa and a great walkway around the pond for walking or bike riding. The golf course is just across the water.
