Castle Hill Resort (aka Colonel’s Quarters)
By Peter | January 14th, 2010
So, full disclosure, we’re big fans of the 512 B&B.. But as we like to delve around the hospitality scene in Oxford, we decided to stay at Castle Hill Resort recently (formerly known as Colonel’s Quarters)
High level, I thought we’d share some quick snapshots we took of the hotel, and also throw in our two cents regarding the establishment.
Overall, it’s a well-appointed hotel. Darn nice rooms, quiet, free wifi, and flat screen tv’s.. The distance to town (5 miles) actually didn’t bother me, but we did have a few small sticking points. Outside of those, it’s well worth consideration when visiting town.
Our pros/cons:
pros:
- during football season, you can usually find a room here on somewhat late notice
- full bar
- restaurant on-site
- new’ish construction
- views
- pool
cons:
- steep stairs – like climbing a small mountain
- no shower in peggy’s room – just a tub (I found this out the hard way)
- exit and entrance from Hwy 6 – tough both ways, ie. floor it / slam on brakes
And if you decide to stay a weekend, and love the place, you could drop a cool $3.9 Mil(now $2.5 Mil) and own the place yourself..(as it seems to now be for sale..)
