Stayed Labor Day weekend, Saturday night there was a wedding and myself and my boyfriend were woken up to drunken yelling woman in the hallway. Went on for about half an hour before I went outside to ask them to quiet down. Then the next night the room across from us decided to throw a party from 1130-230 until I called the front desk to complain. Quiet time hours were not enforced and for someone with insomnia, it was extremely upsetting when I paid decent money to SLEEP there.

Very, very lovely-and versatile.
Came for an overnight- would have loved to stay longer! Friendly staff, smores by the fire, goats out back, all night bakery case with pastries- AND beer/wine! A lovely quiet location ( which was why I selected the location- staying the night before SAT testing) but offers good food, activities, 2 pools,Tennis, hot tub- and the peaceful relaxation also.

Mediocre Holiday Inn quality
Don’t let the spa/resort label fool you. The place had a 1980s Holiday Inn vibe, with a musty barely functional AC unit. Fine if you’re passing through on the road. Not a place to hang around. We left a day early and cut our losses
