The view was gorgeous. Not much in the vicinity as far as restaurants and things to do. It takes like 25 minutes to get to a major road. Dinner was okay, the limited menu did not change in 3 nights. Surprisingly moderately priced given not much alternative and the high level of service.

Grand property with spectacular views. Modern design. Free garage parking. Spa didn’t meet expectations, but otherwise facilities are great for a relaxing trip to the wine country. Be prepared to navigate twisty roads to get there and move around the wine country. A lot of fun if you enjoy spirited driving.

Nice Hotel but not 5 stars
Nice Hotel but not 5 stars….. only 5 star room was the suite but price per night is quite expensive for what you get. Pool is great and the view! Balcony/patio nice in the suite…. But the double deluxe room does not have balcony and the double deluxe premium room has a patio but big wall at the end and you can’t see the view, best to go for a normal double room with good view or a suite. Breakfast was a good big variety! Reception staff very good and helpful! Decoration for birthday in the room was lovely!

The hotel is nice and tranquil. The staff were nice, but serious. They were helpful when needed. The hotel facilities need some of TLC, but our suite was nice. The spa facility is outdated and not up to standard. Don’t expect much Warning: all must wear a head cap if going into any pool. The massage was good and relaxing. Restaurant and food were good. Overall good experience.

This hotel sits on the river, and every room has a perfect river view. The dinner menu and service was really good especially since there are limited food options in the area. Hotel offers a beautiful infinity pool that overlooks the river, but a bit too cold for me. I would recommend this hotel.
