Use the all on, all off light feature to freak your spouse out in the bathroom ! Heehee it is a haunted hotel after all.

Renee' Byars-Staley

We used to love coming here. Since Wyndom is the management, the service or cleanliness has a lot to be desired. We will try another hotel when we return! It's a shame because we love it.

Mike Mike Mike Mike

Stay at Treemont and ride the shuttle over. You'll save a hundy per night.

Bobby Witcher

The best brunch and the pianist is superb!

Jenn Tofanelli

The hotel is being renovated, so beware that the mess is more distracting (and less delightful) than the ghosts . Also, attwifi should be renamed awful...terrible connection. Pool is great, nice spa .

Very beautiful view !

Thomas Hobbs

Looking at their website, one would think that this place was immaculate, but I've stayed in $60/night hotels that are MUCH nicer. Save your money and get a nicer room, like a Motel 8 or Quality Inn .
