The property was tired. It needs a refresh. The furniture in my suite reminded me of a college dormitory. Scratches were on the table. The windows blinds were inconsistent (different styles) and the blinds in my bedroom didn’t fully cover the window (the bottom 1/3 of my window was visible).

It’s complicated. Food & Beverage is 5 star! Chef Chris at the Junction creates culinary magic and his staff provides 5 star service! The ambience at the Junction is wonderful from the ceiling with place settings to the artwork handmade regularly. If you’re a foodie it’s a must go to place! The rest of the resort/spa is average and I would give it 3 stars. The building and rooms are showing their age and wear spots are showing up throughout. Carpeting, damage on walls, flooring lifting up etc. The bathrooms in the rooms are small with little shelf space. The Spa was not up to standards I have received in other places. You have to walk outside to get to it and currently it’s single digit temperatures. A separate jacuzzi is not inside the spa and you need to use the one outside that all guests use. Some of the services like reclining chairs in the waiting area with relaxing music didn’t appear to be available. Likewise they didn’t have tea or fruit juice or snacks provided. When I decided to cancel as they didn’t have much of what I wanted I was informed that I would be charged regardless. I had just made the appointment the night before too. Also the room I was given was opposite the ice machine which was noisy and kept me awake at times. So service for the non food and beverage was disappointing and the facility looks to be requiring some attention. Overall for the whole it seems being a resort/spa and not just a hotel I would give it a 3.5 star rating.

Great experience staying at this hotel. They take it to the next level in your culinary experience. Amazing food and service. Has other amenities you look for in a high end resort as well. The rooms were like staying in a bed and breakfast environment with the top notch resort amenities. Service was excellent as well. My only small disappointment was the bathrooms were a little small. Seemed to be for a smaller than average person. Hard to have two people share that bathroom given that size. I understand other rooms have different configurations though.

This place beautiful! The room felt very homey. I do not recommend the Goat restaurant though. The service was lackluster, took forever and the food was not good. There are plenty of other restaurants in the area that are good. Other than that, if you want a wonderful nights sleep and fantastic tub, this will be perfect.
