Relaxing
Pros:

The restaurant is very good.

Cons:

The pool was closed for repairs and there was no indication of this til I got to check in! I had specifically chosen this hotel so I could go swimming! There should have been an alert prior. Big disappointment.

Pros:

Morning coffee and pastry were good.

Cons:

There was a large space at the bottom of entry door which we tried to block with a towel. However, it was very windy that night and the towel was pushed away exposing the opening during the night making us cold. King bed was too high off the ground making it very difficult to get on and off the bed for someone of short stature; a step stool would have been useful.
