How this score is computed
total = 0.25 × 84.2 (Guest Experience) + 0.25 × 50 (Group Readiness) + 0.20 × 97 (Setting) + 0.15 × 86 (Dining & Wellness) + 0.15 × 46 (Value) = 72.8
Guest Experience 84.2 = 0.5 × 92 (editorial base) + 0.5 × 76.4 (from 4.7★ across 13 Google reviews, Jul 26, 2026)
Five pillars, each scored 0–100, weighted per the published methodology. Each pillar is labeled Computed or Editorial above, per venue: Value and Guest Experience convert to a 50/50 blend of the editorial base and the computed input as live rate data and verified guest ratings land; Group Readiness is editorial, anchored to the property facts shown above; Setting and Dining & Wellness are editorial judgments against published criteria. Every change lands in the append-only readings ledger below, and venues may submit verified data for the next edition. No venue pays to be ranked.
