The room was great! However to call it an inn & spa is not very accurate the spa does not really seem to be part of the hotel meaning good luck getting in there. There’s no option to set up an appointment online either.

It’s a nice place to stay but don’t leave anything valuable in the room because housekeeping did not make sure our door was shut when they left. Found the door not latched shut when we returned after being gone all day. Luckily nothing was disturbed or taken. The bed was also not made very well. The bedding was just thrown back on the bed and tucked in at the foot.
