Beautiful hotel and wonderful location. Valet was great! Mattress was aged and sagging in the center, took a long time to get hot water in the shower. Fridge froze our drinks. No extra pillows or blankets in the room

Staff were very helpful. Check-in was fabulous. Pauline was such a joy to speak with and accommodating to my questions about the hotel. Food at restaurant was great, a few supper selections you don’t always see which was a nice treat.
