10/10 Excellent
"What an amazing downtown hotel! We had a beautiful corner room on the 10th floor and absolutely loved our stay. The historic charm and attention to detail throughout the entire hotel were incredible. Everywhere we looked, there was something unique to admire. We only stayed for one night, but we truly wished we could have stayed longer! The hotel offers fantastic amenities and is within walking distance of so many wonderful restaurants. Valet parking was a great convenience, and every staff member we encountered was courteous, welcoming, and friendly. We had such a wonderful experience and will definitely be back for another visit. Highly recommend!"

8/10 Good
"The house is lovely for a weekend of meditation or connecting with nature, but I wouldn't recommend it for very outgoing families, as the local community is very sensitive about music. I actually felt stressed by the surrounding environment; in my view, renting a house implies having more freedom to have fun, but that wasn't the case here. Next time, I’d choose a hotel instead—I’d have a better time and save money, too."
