The property was nice. The location to downtown Staunton is perfect because it’s walkable. One particular front desk person seemed very annoyed by questions/problems during our stay (Keurig in our room was broken and I went to the front desk to let her know and we needed a restock of some things in our room). One evening in particular she was not very nice to someone in our party. So that person was a bit of a downer to our trip.

Sage is a ray of sunshine. We love how each room is just a little different. The building is beautiful! And every shower we have had has been divine. This is our stop every time we go from PA to SC for family visits. I’m just about to make another reservation…
