"The property is nicely perched on the hill with excellent views from the rooms balcony. The room was clean but could use some minor updating. We booked the one bedroom suite and it came with a fridge, microwave, toaster, kettle, Kurig, sink, mugs, wines glasses, dishes and cutlery. Nice fireplace with TV above. The tv has access to local cable, no apps accessible for login (ie: Netflix, Prime, etc). The ice machine in the lobby was not functioning. The onsite restaurant didn’t look that appealing. It’s very close to the Hot Springs Pool. If you’re looking for a one night stop this was good. If you’re staying for more than one night and looking for a stay with amenities this is not it."
