Would stay again.
Pros:

I put some funny bits into my first review of this place and it got rejected. I simply don't have the energy or the memory to redo what I wrote so instead I'm going to give it to you straight. The courtyard area with the firepit is a great way to relax at night. No cruisers, nothing. The dining area is great for both breakfast and dinner. The rooms are spacious and cozy. The spa area was a lot of fun with great couples massages!

There's even a little area with artifacts and the history of the Ayres family. I know he would be proud to see his hotel still running smoothly and not fully decayed to modernity.

One weird old drunk guy was hanging out at the hot tub area.

Wish we could have stayed more than one night!
Pros:

Great location and a really wonderful hotel. Comfortable, modern, parking available. Pleasant stay. Spa, gym and pool looked nice - wished we could have stayed longer to try more facilities and really get a feel for the vibe. Even the onsite restaurant looked good.

Cons:

Breakfast was limited - it was good that it was included but the food options were not what was expected.

I was very pleased with the overall experience and will definitely be back on my next visit!
Pros:

Breakfast was fine and the location was comfortable especially with the outside seating in the courtyard!

Cons:

There was no smoking area at the building that I stayed at. I had to go to the other building to smoke.

Cons:

Beeping noise every few minutes after I got into bed at 1 a.m. It persisted over the next hour so I had to get up and dress, pack up my luggage and return to the lobby for another room. Management would not give me any compensation because I book through Booking.com
