An okay EXPERIENCE

helpful stafflovely breakfastextra storageinternal noise
The front desk staff WAS helpful. They answered many questions about getting around, about good dinner spots, and everything. The breakfast WAS lovely. The staff were stand outs at this hotel.
The hotel DOES benefit from a little extra storage in the room. I also noticed the hotel has internal noise. You can hear EVERYTHING from neighbors.

lovely stay in a beautiful setting

excellent locationgood breakfasthelpful staffroom storage
The location was excellent and quiet. breakfast had good options. i found the staff very helpful. i especially liked that the hotel arranged flowers and a cake for my wife's birthday. It was all done perfectly (she loved it!).
the room could use more storage. a full-length mirror would also be useful. i did appreciate getting hot water from the bar, so it wasn't a huge issue.
