Chateau Elan
Beautiful resort, we enjoyed our stay. It is clean, elegant, and safe. Definitely worth a visit. The only complaint was no complimentary coffee station like we find at Marriott and Hilton hotels. Coffee maker in the room, but that doesn't do it for me.

A very nice property. The rooms are large, clean and have very nice bathrooms. The breakfast was excellent. We rented a block of rooms for a nearby wedding and thoroughly enjoyed the hotel.

Breakfast could be more personally accessible and upgraded. Currently, other than coffee, you are required to ask staff for other items as they are behind counter😕
