Overnight stop before Bowman distillery tour.

Visit started out on a bad note when we were informed that the king bed room we reserved was unavailable and that only queen rooms were left. Matthew, the front desk person, working kindly give us free valet parking.

It is simply a gorgeous hotel. Every detail with the design was carefully thought out. The millwork, the fixtures and the ambience all are perfectly married to enhance the guest's experience. The linens are superb, thick and luxurious. The mattresses are delightful. The only I would say could be improved upon...the toilet paper really has room for improvement.
