"I travel frequently for work and stay at the same chain hotels, so I was looking for something a little less commercial feel on this trip. Skylaranna is tucked away from busy highways and offers beautiful mountain scenery in a peaceful setting. The rooms are spacious and very clean. Ours included a kitchenette, a private balcony, a huge spa-style bathroom with shower jets, and an extend tv package that made it easy to unwind after a long day. Unfortunately, I didn't have the opportunity to try...

Such a beautiful and remote without being truly remote location. From the service to the accommodation everything was perfect and our only wish was that we had had longer there. I cannot recommend this place highly enough

Fabulous, pristine property. However, you will probably need to drive to eat out in the evenings, although the in-house Restaurant is good for one evening. Disappointed the outside space is not in sunshine in the afternoons. Luckily, we had a West facing balcony. The hotel is approximately 4 miles south of downtown.

Very good venue. busy yet tranquil. No TV blasting away in the bar area. The guitarist (Rick) on Friday night was excellent - good balance of light jazz and not intrusively loud.
The meal was excellent but expensive.

Excellent hotel in the arts district.
Philip (reception) was extremely efficient, nothing too much trouble.
Two female bar staff looking after rooftop bar very attentive.
The hotel decor breathtaking.
Had king size bedroom with a view of the river.
Hopefully we will be returning.

Wonderful experience. Location is great for dining in the evening. Staff are very welcoming and helpful. House is amazing and very comfortable. Breakfast is great, better than many 5* hotels.
