When we arrived we were pleasantly greeted by the concierge whom escorted us to our room and made sure we could enter our room using our code. After we settled in we went downstairs to the restaurant and had an awesome meal with breathtaking views of the valley. I will definitely return as I have family and friends in the area and the location is perfect.

Charming room geared towards book lovers
I would give this room an overall rating of 3.75 out of 5 stars. Positives include well themed and decorated room without going over the top: clean, comfortable bathroom; convenient amenities such as refrigerator, microwave. Negatives include overly firm beds -- too firm to be comfortable; bedroom area in serious need of dusting; TV was not receiving signal when we first turned it on (my electrical engineer husband re-booted the system and got it

Beautiful room
Once upon a time is so inviting and relaxing. I have already been recommending to friends and family. I absolutely loved the decor and personal touches throughout the room.
Just a few recommendations. Get bigger blinds to cover the window completely. The blinds are too short which allows people to see in at night if they are walking by. It also allowed the morning sunlight to wake us up. Hooks for the back of the bathroom doors. And water bottle in the vending or somewhere for late nights after the restaurant has closed.
We would love to come back again and see more of the property and view some of the other themed rooms. Absolutely stunning views outside! And Joshua was so very helpful and kind! Excellent customer service! Thank you for maintaining such a beautiful property!
