First time at a virgin property, surprised by how much I enjoyed it. It’s upscale without being stuffy and the staff go above to make your stay pleasant. We utilized the umbrellas at the entrance on a drizzly afternoon and found them a great offering. We also had a night cap at the commons club every night. The bar staff were welcoming and I enjoyed the elderflower forward special menu of the month. Would stay again.
