My husband and I have been looking at this place to visit but were very concerned about previous reviews but wanted to see for ourselves. Do we wish we would of listened, this place is a hoax!! Let me explain.....Arrived around 4pm this past Thursday with my confirmation in hand just to be told they were overbooked and couldn't accommodate... more

I stayed there 3 days and everything was fantastic, from the great staff to the wonderful food. I wil be back real soon. Thanks to everyone!! more

Six girlfriends chose Parise's new restaurant over the typical Larkins on the Lake for dinner. WOW! The food was incredible! We started with 3 appetizers-one the chef's choice. We were melting in our seats! We each had a different entree and shared. Michael Parise came out and personally introduced himself-he had just returned from a catering event for Halle Berry!... more

My girlfriend and I stayed there for her birthday. I was blown away by every aspect of this hotel. They had flowers, wine, and strawberries waiting for us in the room upon check in.

Chef Parise happen to be there that night and came over to our table. It was a very special evening We will be back... more

I have read several of the latest reviews and was concerned about the negative reviews, but we had a great time and everyone on the staff was very helpful. We loved the room, while not overly large but the beds and linens were very comfortable and the Bose radio and Flat screen TV was a nice touch. The nicest part... more

I booked The Esmeralda to celebrate my wife's 60th birthday. We were disappointed. There website and business card advertises a restaurant, but there was no restaurant. They advertise a spa, but no spa. The place is unique, but devoid of character. The breakfast is what you'd expect at a cheap motel. They advertise an afternoon wine and cheese hour. Cheap... more
