The property was amazing! With a puppy as part of our family, we especially enjoyed walking the campus which was quiet and beautiful. The room was clean and staff very helpful. Highly recommend!

4/10 Fair

Beautiful property and nice people. But the mildew smell from something - not sure what- made it just miserable. Maybe it’s a fluke, it was my first time there. I need to go to the area often, so I’m sorry that I had that experience, because it was just lovely, otherwise. I let the property know. They did not try to make any amends. It’s a motel-like set up. You drive right to the door.

2/10 Poor

The room was very clean and the bed was super comfortable. The water pressure was heavenly. Parking was close to the room. Sounds great, but unfortunately that’s not the end of our story. All the amenities, including the pool, are no where near the hotel. The staff was completely clueless and not helpful at all. She would not answer the phone at all, so we had to keep walking over since there were no towels and the other room issues. The air conditioning did not work properly and it was 75% humidity in our room. I had to get dressed on the balcony it was so hot in the room. The towel rack just fell off the wall when I touched the hand towel. We left one night into our stay , very disappointed. Hotels.com was able to work with the manager to get us a refund for our other night.

This was one of the most pleasant stays at a "hotel" I've ever experienced, I would have happily stayed more than one night if needed. The setting is lovely and peaceful. The room was quiet at night and our beds were comfortable. Our room faced the woods with a patio which we spent a lot of time on. The facility is on the older side, but everything was clean and organized and we had everything we needed. You can park close to your room and I love that it's only 2 stories with outside access (like a motel). Staff was all very friendly. My ONLY suggestions would include 1. a protein option for breakfast- in fairness it is a continental breakfast, but there really aren't any close restaurants in the area (at least breakfast options) it was a lot of bread/carbs and sugar. And 2. with being on the ground floor, it would be nice to have an additional security/lock on the sliding glass door to the patio- it's just a simple latch, which felt a little insecure. Overall we had a wonderful experience and I would absolutely come back! Good job Sweet Briar! I feel like we found a gem!

Multiple spiders found behind the drawers, in corners, etc. Decently clean overall but the number of spiders was unacceptable
