Some good but a lot of problems
Pros:

A mixed bag. We appreciated the hotel giving us a room on a high floor with a decent view. And breakfast in Geraldine's was pretty sublime.

Other issues though distracted from our ability to have a stress free getaway. We made reservations online which showed confirmed at the end of the process. But when we called the hotel they said we had no reservation. The internal tech issue took a full day to resolve.

The valet service ($62 a night) was a mess. Car would arrive at a completely different location than where they told us to wait for it. Once they could not find our car at all, making us 15 minutes late for our dinner reservation.

Then there was the bill, which inexplicably contains multiple small tax amounts on the same day for the same tax.

All that, plus a steady torrent of unwanted texts from the hotel (until I insisted they turn them off) made this a less than great stay.

Pros:

Very clean, staff was nice

Cons:

Check in process, check in was at 4 I requested early check in for 3, I understand that it was based on availability, so that’s not the issue. I arrived at 3:15 and the room was not ready, and at 4:10 the room was finally ready.

Looking Forward To Another Stay!
Pros:

Our room was lovely and well appointed. We had several meals in the hotel and each one was quite good! Even the downstairs hotel bartender was so very personable and helpful! He also made a wonderful cocktail!

Loved the VanZandt
Pros:

The Hotel Van Zandt was wonderful! Room was very clean, quiet, and comfortable. The restaurant was great--we had two meals there and enjoyed both.
Service was helpful and pleasant throughout. Keegan on the front desk was a standout. We were lucky to meet him on arrival, and he had wonderful suggestions for stores, sights, meals on the go, etc. Very gracious and knowledgeable.
The location is also prime. Close to the lake and walking distance from shops and restaurants. I highly recommend the Van Zandt.
