    Emily was great in every respect. Very knowledgeable of the Chateau and very professional. She didn't rush the tour, arrived super early and answer all our questions. She was very sweet too. Highly recommend her. The tour was also perfect because it was like 95 degrees outside and we got to spend some time indoors. She also mentioned the hotel pool was open to the public and we returned the next day for a swim. The cost was $20, bought the tickets at the reception pool. Open from 6:30am-9pm. The pool is marvelous!

  • Wonderful tour, ask for Hannah!
