I absolutely loved my stay at the hotel! The rooms were beautifully appointed with a cozy fireplace, a luxurious bathroom featuring a large soaking tub and separate shower, and fresh flowers changed twice during my 6-night stay. The only downside was the slight inconvenience of accessing the rooms on the second floor due to the elevator limitations, but it was just a short walk up one flight of stairs.
The hotel's rooms are extremely spacious, gorgeously appointed, and each unique, boasting a huge bathtub and walk-in shower. However, the faux dark wood tables in the rooms don't fit the hotel's overall style. The staff is exceptionally friendly and accommodating, but the reception staff may come off as a bit reserved.
