It was a bit noisy due to the proximity of the train tracks you can hear the train. Besides that it’s an amazing venue to stay at.

Everything from arrival to checkout was perfect. We loved the style of the remodel. I felt like I should be paying for breakfast because it was so good. Workout room had a peloton! And laundry with complimentary soap. Also 24 hour coffee from a legit espresso machine. My sister already rebooked.

The Cottages staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. The facilities were updated, impeccable, and tastefully done. The morning breakfast was excellent, including a coffee maker that could make coffee and tea in many varieties. I had a Starbucks quality latte each morning - for free - at the push of a button. I would absolutely stay at The Cottages again.

I cannot say enough about this amazing hotel! From the incredible staff, beautiful rooms, well thought out amenities, nice breakfast and great location - everything was perfect! We even received a follow up message letting us know we had left something in the room and they offered to ship it back to us. Such a gem!

My husband and I enjoyed staying at this hotel. We stayed in a standard room. The room was clean and the king bed was very comfortable. The deck was also nice to sit on and we liked that it overlooked the pool. Breakfast was delicious and most of the staff was pleasant. My only issues were the lack of microwave in our room and the fact there are zero towel racks to hang bath towels.
