My stay at the hotel was pleasant overall. The rooms were very spacious, clean, and fresh, but I felt they were a bit overpriced considering they were standard rooms. The service was genuinely warm and welcoming, with staff going above and beyond to ensure a great stay. The location, nestled on top of a mountain next to the stunning University of the South, was unique and beautiful. The dining experience was enhanced by live jazz music, adding a nice touch to the atmosphere.
