"The Woodside Grill at the Gaia Hotel and Spa may be off the beaten path, but I think that's what makes it an even better experience! I felt like I was on vacation, enjoying an amazing brunch by Chef Josh. The entire staff was amazing! The food was beautiful and so so delicious! I can't wait to see what else they have in store for us!"

"I have to say this place is officially vetted and added to my list of local establishments that qualify as tried and true! Not only is the atmosphere relaxing and inviting the service I receive from all the staff here is exemplary! The food is a must have as well. This is one of only three places I trust locally to serve a consitenly fantastic ribeye. Their sides are delicious as well. I have yet to have a bad bite..."

"I went to Gaia with some friends and family and had a fabulous brunch at the Woodside Grill. The food was amazing. They even had these perfect mocktails for me to sip on while my friends enjoyed their mimosas. Service was excellent. Definitely recommend the Gaia if you’re looking for a place to eat or for an overnight stay."

"I rolled into town after a 700 mile, 11 hr drive and did a quick Google search. I’ll typically go with the big chain hotels as you usually know what you’re going to get. Thankfully I took a shot at this one. This place has surpassed my expectations by a long shot. Close to the Airport, near I5, cool layout and landscape. The staff, all were awesome, helpful and friendly. I felt welcome here. Of course I was hungry, I..."

"Most the family stayed at this hotel for a wedding. Extremely accommodating, friendly, and helpful staff from the office, to the maids, to the restaurant. Beautiful property along the river. Us and other guests enjoyed the pool and hot tub and the fire pits, they were a vibe tbh. The property feels like an experience. Shocked to find out only a 3-star hotel, felt like a 4-star! Very comfy bed, clean and very spacious room. Would totally go again and..."
