The room was good. Only problem was that it was switched at the last min. We were told we would be on the main level with access to the outside from our room. Other than that it was absolutely amazing. The breakfast all three days were amazing and delicious. And the staff were super friendly.

So warm in the room that we had to leave sliding glass door halfway open all the time when we were in the room. We would prefer to have a bath/shower as part of the bathroom rather than feeling as though it was in the living area. We didn’t use it. Access to coffee/tea other than at would be preferable. Service in general and breakfast were fantastic.

Unique - perfect for some, but not for everyone

This had a 9.4 when I booked it, and was probably the first time I've been disappointed with a hotel with that kind of rating. On one hand, its very quaint and nice, definitely unique, nicely decorated, and had a good atmosphere. But the lack of amenities was a problem for me. There was no coffee/hot water kettle in the room (but they did have an ironing board?!). The room was very cold at night, with no thermostat for me to adjust. To make matters worse, there is no one at the front desk after around 7, so since I arrived later in the evening, there was no one to ask for help. Serving breakfast would be very nice, but they only will serve it between 8:15 and 9:30 - which are pretty limited hours. On the one day that I did get the breakfast, it was fabulous.
