The staff at the hotel were so amazing! Super Friendly and helpful. The Whiskey and Salt bar had a great vibe and bartenders. Wide variety of whiskey if that’s your thing. Rooms were clean and a nice change from generic chain hotels. I would definitely return.

Room was as expected from the pics, except that the fireplace is so close to the end of the bed you can’t even see it while laying in bed, so that was a little disappointing. Also, I originally made dinner reservations at the hotel restaurant “Salt & Whiskey”, but when we stopped by to have our complimentary cocktail during happy hour, we noticed it was pretty chilly and asked if they could turn on the fireplace, but they said it wasn’t working, so I asked if they could turn up the heat, but they said it’s pretty hard to keep warm with all the large windows. We also noticed that the piano that I saw in online pics was pushed back in a corner so I asked if there would be music later for dinner but they said they don’t usually have the piano/music during “off-season”, so for all of these reasons, I cancelled our dinner rez there and we went somewhere else, since it didn’t have the ambience I was expecting.
