We truly could not have asked for a better weekend getaway to celebrate my spouse’s birthday. The interior was absolutely beautiful, and the rooms were spacious and impeccably clean. There was more than enough room for our family of four to feel completely comfortable. The lounge was perfect for mid-day snacks, and we relaxed and played board games. Breakfast was amazing - tons of options (fresh fruit, pastries, hot breakfast, many coffee and tea options), and very high quality food. What really made the stay exceptional was the staff—they were warm, attentive, and went out of their way to make everything seamless and enjoyable. Their helpful advice and local tips were much appreciated, and they made the birthday celebration feel genuinely special. The pool and gym are also excellent additions and rounded out an already perfect stay. We left feeling relaxed, well cared for, and eager to return.

The hotel is beautiful and grand, however, severely understaffed. The check in staff at Zoe were not responsive or cordial on a few occasions. The three personnel at the desk weren’t even serving other customers at the time. They didn’t even look up to ask if they could help. I had a great server wait on us at the restaurant and a pleasant server at the bar. This hotel has many aspects that are nice but the service needs to be stepped up. I also waited an hour for the valet to deliver our car, others guests who were staying had similar complaints about the long valet waits. Given that valet is the only option and at $67.00 a night the horribly long wait is not acceptable at any price.
