It’s a beautiful place to visit but not the best place to stay.
Pros:

Beautiful views. Lovely staff.

Cons:

This hotel needs a major upgrade! When we arrived, the room was not clean, the shower door was off its rail, garbage still in the bin. We advised the front desk, she was very concerned and offered to switch us rooms. But we paid for the view and the alternate room was overlooking a kitchen vent with no view. We opted to stay in our room. The following morning, advised a different front desk staff member that the shower door needed fixing and the shower didn’t drain and the room was dirty - garbage on floor and under beds. Went out for the day and returned to the room cleaned up, shower door still off the rail. Beds were clean but old, you could feel the bed springs in your back. There is no mention of the room being over a bar and the music late into the evening on the weekend was ridiculous. Breakfast was good.
