Pros:

Dining, Spa staff were friendly and efficient. Rooms were a nice size.

Cons:

The staff at check-in and check-out left a lot to desire. Had to request a late check out several times before it actually happened. We put a credit on the card when we check-in but for some reason they cancelled it without informing us...this lead to confusion at checkout.

Houghton is always a great choice!
Pros:

Everything was absolutely fantastic! Second time staying here with my fiancé and we loved it.

Cons:

The bed/base made weird noises each time we turned over in our sleep. Sort of like the base needed to be replaced.
