It was a great place to stay for our very large group. Plenty of room at the tap room and the pool
Pros:

God location to the wedding venue, convenient to tap room restaurant next door, good food especially breakfast. Clean rooms, ample parking for our big group, pool area at adjacent sister hotel very large area and pretty.

Cons:

Very noisy road/area, room was small but ok for two nights. This, the loud a/c and toilet running all night was not conducive to a good night’s rest. Our bathroom was small. There was no light in the closet area so it was hard to see in and see ourselves in the full length mirror.

Pros:

The location was great, the hotel had a really nice look - edgy, vintage and eclectic! Due to the vibe and decoration of the hotel, I think the rooms were a bit smaller than expected. But for the price, location and stay, it was a good deal!

Cons:

The parking needs to be redone. The rooms seem small.
