Pros:

Very nice all around

Cons:

The key cards kept not working and we had to go back to the front seat to have them programmed. That happened 4 times in a two day stay.

Relaxing & refreshing
Pros:

Location doesn’t get better than this- lovely, comfy place to stay! They do little thing like chocolate & turn down service and AM coffee /tea on each floor.

Cons:

I felt the cost was a little on the higher end for this season of the year- but it was still worth the price
