The rooms are very nice with indoor fireplaces and patios. However, for the nightly rate, which for a weekend was nearly a grand, I expected a better experience. I wish it was initially mentioned when I called and asked about the pet policy for cats that they could not be left unattended in the room. I found this out by luckily seeing the fine print on the website two days before the trip. It was unfortunate because I only picked this spot because it was the only place that accepted cats. Now that I couldn't bring them, I realized I could have gone anywhere for half the cost. The daily breakfast is nice although it's not anything special. They let you communicate through someone over text during your stay so that was helpful, so I don't have to keep bothering the front desk. However, after one night we requested housekeeping services and got confirmation that we would get it. Left for the day to do some tours and got back to the bed still being unmade and trash was still full. Normally I wouldn't be too upset about it but again the entire weekend I was thinking about how expensive this place is, and no housekeeping is crazy. I texted the hotel number and explained that they did not come by, and I got no response. Strange because up until this point they were very responsive. When checking out I mentioned this and they offered me $50 off for the mishap which was nice, but overall, I just thought the entire stay was too overpriced for the entire experience.
