fabulous location, good night’s sleep. Very friendly breakfast staff. Would have like a working TV in room. Breakfast start before 8am would help guests. I do not expect towels to be changed daily when I have hung up to reuse.

The hotel is in a beautiful location. We had a few issues with our room upon arrival that could have been handled a bit better. The food was incredible, but we wish the same care was given to some of the hotel facilities.

The location was decent, but there were issues. The towel warmer in the bathroom was dripping water on the floor, which wasn't a huge issue. The biggest problem was the noise. On the first night we heard what sounded like someone moving furniture for hours above us. The second night, in addition to the furniture moving noises, there was loud dance music being played, I think at the restaurant on the property (we didn'tleaveour room to investigate). We barely got any sleep. Had we known that the place turned into a club on Friday nights, we wouldn't have booked.
