Beautiful boutique hotel
Pros:

Hotel had some beautiful art pieces. Rooms were lovely, a lot of effort to put together. We were in executive street across the road and unfortunately had a mouse in the room. Put up with it first night but second night slept next door . Staff were apologetic and helpful. Had a great breakfast and dinner at the property . Make sure to book theatre early as otherwise no chance to view a movie in this lovely room.. overall very happy with the accomodation just a nuisance with the mouse which was not anybody’s fault really….

Cons:

Nothing to dislike… staff good , food good and property was lovely.

Pros:

L'équipe réception au check-in nous a fait un accueil formidable et au Check out pareil, très bonne énergie dans cette équipe, ça fait du bien de se sentir bien accueilli , chambre impeccable, pas eu le temps de tester le spa malheureusement, nourriture du petit déjeuner top

Cons:

La serveuse du petit déjeuner, zéro sourire, faudrait qu'elle arrête de soupirer ou de montrer son agacement quand elle prend une commande, elle devrait changer de métier si elle n'en peut plus à ce point

Cons:

Checkout is at 11. They called me right at 11, I said I’m leaving soon. I missed the next call because I was in the bathroom, and then the manager came and started banging loudly on the door
