Spent Friday night at one my favorite places to escape to for a weekend. Great breakfast, as always, but a bit noisy. First assigned room was occupied as well. Still a great experience. Probably a hundred nights at S in the last 25 years. Big fan!

Testimonials icon
"When people provide customer friendly service in today’s world, it should be applauded! So many businesses have taken almost and adversarial attitude towards the customer, in other words, they over compensate for a consumer not following through. As a business, it is my understanding, that the business should always follow through and do as they promise! Loyalty between consumers and businesses should remain alive, profit above service is a bad plan and will cost the business in the long run!" R.F. - Denver, CO
