Nice stay in a quiet, great location property!
Pros:

The wine and cheese reception as well as the breakfast were phenomenal!

Cons:

We were a bit disenchanted when we walked to our room. The hallway seemed a bit dungy and not indicative of what the photos inside the room showed.

Look elsewhere
Pros:

The breakfast was very good and the main bed was comfortable.

Cons:

My sister in law, her husband and their 6 month old baby had to move hotel rooms for a night because of an ant infestation in their original room. Our family had booked 4 rooms and we were dispersed on 3 different floors instead of being together at such a small property. My husband and I and our 2 small kids were on the “1st” floor that is up a flight of stairs and not connected to any elevator which was a nuisance multiple times a day with our stroller and trying to meet with family. The front desk person at check in could use a lesson on how to be kind to and “welcome” guests. Communication with the hotel was left unanswered both before our stay and during about why this hotel charges the entire amount prior even though there’s “free cancellation”. I’ve booked dozens of stays on booking.com and this hasn’t been the case before. We’ll be finding a different property for future stays in the area.
