Pros:

It was a very peaceful, quiet stay. The pool and hit tub were great. Wonderful jet action on hot tub. The leaves had not yet turned, but it is stunning, when they do. We were a little too early this year

Cons:

The beds were very hard. Our backs really hurt after waking up on Thursday. The windows in our room only opened on 1 side. The toilet also seemed loose..we stayed at a LaQuinta in on Thursday. It was much more updated. The beds were more comfortable, the TV was bigger, room bigger, had better water pressure iin shower and was much more reasonable priced.

Ok for an overnight stay with conference.
Pros:

Beautiful setting, great decor

Cons:

The in room coffee maker didn’t work, and neither did several outlets. WiFi coverage was spotty at best.

Despite hiccups, beautiful views and nice bed!
Pros:

I enjoyed the vibe of the area and the view! Also shout out the night auditor (Jennifer I think?) that helped me get my room figured out after I was double booked.

Cons:

I did not appreciate that Tish booked me a room without asking me and lied to my mother that I had no room booked— as I had this reservation booked long before my wedding.

Great location, fabulous staff, and tons of areas to hang with friends
Pros:

The location was perfect as our group was coming from different locations. Great proximity for all of us. THE STAFF WAS PHENOMENAL! Every single person we encountered was friendly,, pleasant, and very welcoming. There were tons of spaces for us to gather and just hang out. Food was unexpectedly good to be honest. All the meals we had were great.We will be back again, and have already spread the word to family and other friends.

Cons:

All good here!
