    The location could not be beat. I really enjoyed just walking off the street and going right up to my room. The atmosphere was so nice too, very pretty.

    The hotel is gorgeous and the room was fantastic. Very spacious one bedrrom suite with kitchenette. Extremely well appointed - was more like staying at a B&B than a hotel. TVs in both the lounge and the bedroom and an enormous walk-in closet!

    Great location with arrangement for local car parking at a reasonable price. The suite we had was on the ground floor and was very spacious.
