A side from our initial arrival experience with the unpleasant receptionist we went on to have a wonderful stay…
Pros:

It was a lovely hotel.. great location.. the food was excellent & the rooms very comfortable with all the extra special touches added in…

Cons:

The day we arrived the receptionist was not welcoming or helpful at all .. The day after however she was replaced by a lovely girl who was saw for the next couple of days who was very accommodating..also Cameron who was working several roles was a very polite & nice young man always checking if their was anything we needed …

Pros:

Breakfast was good although not outstanding. For the price that was charged it could be better.

Cons:

Everything was very nice. We stayed for a one night only, so it is not easy to find any real imperfections.

Pros:

They think of everything. You check in and they take your bags, park your car and that’s all you have to think about until you fill in your breakfast order that night. Lovely courtyard dining and a 2 Michelin star restaurant on site. It was a lovely break we sorely needed.

Amazing room/service, hotel is OLD = noisy!
Pros:

I stayed in anamaizngqueen room with a beautiful bath tub. I read reviews about this hotel being loud, but I was not prepared to be woken up at 5:30 with constant noise from the stairs and doors opening and closing. I was on the ground/countyard ... maybe a higher room would be quieter. Also, no AC. I also had to wait about 10 minutes to be served by the bartender for a glass of wine - after seeking out someone to help me. All that being said, I would stay again.

Pros:

This lovely boutique hotel reminded me of the ambiance and attention to the Guest experience that I thought was lost to most of us.
Exceptional experience!

Pros:

Lovely location and sweet courtyard. Room was clean and comfortable though there was a leaking tub faucet. I was extremely disappointed with the level of noise that woke me up on vacation at 7:30am (or so)....lawn mowing or blowing, garbage pickup, etc. Is there no town noise ordinance near a luxury hotel?

Beautiful building but not that comfortable a stay.
Pros:

Great location, very attentive staff, liked wifi and free parking. Beautiful building.

Cons:

Hated having to climb the miniature staircases to go upstairs. to my room, room was really warm even on a cool day, super noisy outside our window. Seems like if you ask for a pet-free room, you get the much lesser room. room was quite small. I would have liked a few more options for breakfast on the "included in your price" menu. Some fresh fruit, some yogurt, maybe oatmeal. Definitely need some healthier options.
