Spa is amazing with excellent staff. Would highly recommend everyone visit and have a relaxing day at the spa. However, the restaurants connected with the hotel are okay at best. The fine dining restaurant was okay & had decent food, yet nothing wowed me it really missed the mark for excellent food at a fine dining restaurant. The pub restaurant was good, anything with brisket is excellent but again some of the other choices are missing components that could make the food really good. I had the artichoke and shrimp salad and was looking forward to something different, but it was just blah, it needs a better dressing and maybe feta cheese or something else added to bring the salad together. Staff were excellent at the pub.

Excellent stay. Staff was very informative and attentive without being intrusive. Fresh granola bars out, along with s'more kits to use near the coffee bar at the Zabriskie house. Everything is in walking distance but they did offer shuttle service to most things I believe. The spa was amazing. Spent almost all day there before our treatment in and out of the various hot tubs, cold plunges, saunas, steam room & tranquility room. Will be returning.
