The staff, the rooms, the comfort were all amazing! You get what you pay for here and we couldn't have been more excited when we were in the lobby saying farwell to our family after our wedding. The reviews were outstanding and everyone was impressed. The Banquet and Sales team are the best in the biz! I planned our wedding... more

Excellent staff/service. The village design of the hotel is unique & quite charming. Clean rooms, nice sitting area and desk. Fast internet connection. Still, a bit pricey for the area. more

The Desmond is an interesting property and is great for an event (i.e. banquet, etc.) but the rooms are probably due for a renovation compared to other nearby hotels. Some bedding was stained, (OK, just the bedskirt, but still, gross). The TV was a low-def CRT. The bathroom "just OK". It can also be a long walk to some rooms.... more

If you are a chain hotel fan, this is NOT the place for you, but if you appreciate a unique local hotel, you'll enjoy... more
