"Room was very cute and so clean! Had everything I needed. Only want to point out that it is very close to a train track, so you can hear it when one passes by."

"The hotel has not been updated, and it would’ve been fine, if it was clean, but it wasn’t. There are stains on the carpet, we found someone else’s sock under the bed, the ceiling tiles in the bathroom were broken and stained, the tub was lined with mold, and the sink looked like it was falling off the wall. As we were checking in, another guest was complaining about it raining in her room (it was raining outside). You also cannot flush the toilet before showering. I will never stay here again."

"My husband and I stayed at The Chatwal Lodge (about two hours from NYC) and it’s easily one of the best resorts we’ve been to. It feels incredibly private and secluded—it seemed like there were only ~20 guests on property—so the whole experience was calm and special. We booked the Treehouse, which was awesome: modern, spotless, and beautifully designed with a great vibe. Since it’s all-inclusive, we didn’t have to worry about extra charges, which made it truly relaxing. The non-alcoholic welcome “champagne” was a great touch and actually tasted really good. The food was outstanding with plenty of options—honestly Michelin-star level in quality. The warm ciabatta bread at dinner was so fresh and tasty. There are also lots of activities. I attended yoga, a sound bath, and Pilates—everything was well run and the atmosphere was very relaxing. Walking around in nature was a perfect reset. The staff were consistently warm and welcoming. At night, the firepits/bonfire felt amazing. One small improvement: the s’mores kit was a bit stale, so upgrading the freshness would make it better. Two suggestions: consider moving the sound bath to the afternoon (it fits the “drift off” vibe and would spread activities out), and provide a printed activity schedule + locations for easy reference. Highly recommend overall."
