Cons:

We extended our stay for one night - then we were locked out of our room for hours after they decided to check us out a day early. Long story short we finally got back into our room after a long debate with the staff.
In addition, the head chef at the restaurant was surprisingly rude.
The website says the rooms are sound proof - this is not even remotely true, there's actually a lot of noise from the road below.
The breakfast was quite average for $40 per person. The restaurant wasn't particularly great either, very nice ambience, but food was average for high prices.
I won't be going back.
