The gym lock was broken, the front entrance door had difficulty close/open, the hot tub was unclean and the bubbles did not work. There was a snow storm, did not remove snow until late the following day then got plowed in. The manager was kind, but the circumstances left a lot to be desired.

We enjoyed a fantastic dinner at Rye, located in Copperleaf. All the staff were very friendly, and our room was very clean and cozy with a fireplace. Great location and walkable to all the boutiques and restaurants/brewery.
