My stay at Boxotel had some bright spots, like the fantastic design and great location, but overall, I was left disappointed. The communication about fees was unclear, and there were issues with the room's layout and comfort. I enjoyed the spa, but I don't think I'll be returning given the negatives I experienced.

Rooms

5.0

The room was small and featured a Murphy bed that I found only so-so. Plus, the bathroom design was frustrating because if I wanted to use the sink after showering, I had to deal with flooding. It felt cramped, and the pillows weren't great either.

While I interacted with friendly staff, my overall experience was marred by the unclear communication regarding extra fees. The admin response to my concerns didn't help either.
