Nice for a little weekend getaway.
Pros:

The location is great, and staff are lovely. Food is also lovely in their restaurant.

Cons:

The room is all right given the price we paid and that it's a 3 star hotel. The only qualms i had with it is that it was a little noisy at night, and that I got a sliver of light coming through the door frame from the.hallway that contributed to me having a hard time sleeping. Additionally, the area where the vanity mirror sits is quite dark (no overhead lighting or lamp) so I was not able to use that area well for what is intended.
