I checked into The Nest after a very distressing experience at another hotel that I thought was going to be good, based on two reviews on this site. It was a gross misrepresentation. That place was horrible and gross. The Nest is the total opposite. Clean, well staffed, comfortable. The bed was wonderful! A total delight!

Thus property checks all the boxes: gym, outdoor fireplace and fountains, with plenty of comfortable seating. They also have wine, beer, soft drinks, and an indoor fireplace, in the lobby. Pet friendly, and very friendly staff!

Liked: Cleanliness
Although the lobby and grounds looked quite nice for a renovated older place, the room was very small and inconveniently furnished. The bedframe stuck out so one bumped into it constantly. The flash shower leaked on the floor. The TV, although huge, didn't swivel so only place to watch was from bed, the Keurig was broken. It all looked better than it was(pretty look but not very functional) Yelling outside in middle of night and early morning (unknown if neighbor property or hotel itself), big dog fee with no real place to potty dog, old fruit at breakfast. We would not return.
