It’s not quiet. It wants to be quiet, and everyone there was quiet. If you’re not quiet, then you hear everything. Large space below room door, thin walls. Not an ideal place for pets. Pet will hear all sorts of noises, we heard all sorts of noises—walking, whispering, etc. No perks. Everything has a cost, or, “smile we’re watching”. Big field, take the pup for a walk, nope, poop everywhere. Staff ignored us. We didn’t know for sure they were staff, no identification or uniforms. Won’t be back.

Not Luxury

Talus Rock is not a luxury retreat. Its a house converted into a hotel, and unlike a bnb the caretakers didn't care to check us in and introduce themselves, we just received an email with a code for the door. There was someone there the whole time, so it was like I was walking around someone's home that i never met. Awkward. When we got to our room, the air conditioning was blasting, but there was no way to turn it off. Since its a home, the rooms are not individually climate controlled. It was slightly warm that day but cooled off a lot at night and I was really cold and uncomfortable. I texted the number listed to receive help as instructed on a sign in the room but they refused to turn it off, suggesting I turn on a heater. I slept terribly because i was cold, and the noise from the ac was also annoying. It was not hot out at all so it was really frustrating and bizarre. There was also no breakfast, like one would receive at a luxury retreat, or a bnb at that price point. The only snacks and beverages were for purchase. I definitely don't recommended this place, absolutely not worth what we paid! The decor was nice but the service is horrible.

Norma room

Room was comfortable but hard to identify but the room name was some 20 foot away! The lobby area and lounge were great for conversation with other guests. Jacuzzi and was so relaxing and the views wonderful . Unfortunately, at least 6 trains with horns blowing twice per, made restful sleeping difficult. Otherwise a great stay.
