We had a wonderful 3 days. Our family live opposite so we were able to spend time with them as well.
Pros:

We had a wonderful stay. The staff were very helpful. the atmosphere was great.

Cons:

I was disappointed that there was only one price for breakfast. $42.50 was a lot. I am not a big eater and it would have been nice to have had a cheaper option. There was no filter coffee so I got an espresso which I had to pay extra for.
