Good option for stay, great sauna on site.
Rooms are a bit unique, but do the job if you are dropping in to get to Milford.
We preferred food in town but had breakfast at the hotel and that had a great assortment of options.
Super clean rooms and super helpful staff for requests and concerns. This is not a place I would vacation persay, but a great place to get a good nights rest!

Great location, clean, great views and hotel staff were courteous and helpful. The breakfast was outstanding. The only thing to be aware of is the hotel appears to accommodate a lot of bus groups, so if you're looking for a more quaint environment, there are likely better choices.

Needs an interior upgrade in the corridors and stairs leading to rooms, very dated and shabby. The bar area was beautiful and the dinner was excellent. Be sure to get the cheese plate for dessert, fantastic! Staff was very helpful and so pleasant.

This is an excellent hotel, we had a villa which was so spacious as we are away for an extended time we have lots of bags. I cannot praise the staff enough, from reception, bar and restaurant to housekeeping, everyone was great, even let me check out late for no cost when our trip plans got changed at the last minute

Room was nice, however, the grounds, pool area, and spa are in need of a major upgrade. Frankly, the landscaping and spa/ hot tub was depressingly forgotten about.
