Best Hotel/Service I've ever experienced!

This was the nicest hotel I've ever stayed in. Price includes complimentary breakfast room service and/or large breakfast buffet which can be eaten in an absolutely lovely courtyard with lemon trees and a water fountain. The food is delicious! There is also a wonderful wine and cheese spread every night from 530-630 and warm cookies and milk at 830pm! The service was wonderful and the hotel is walking distance from many things to do and restaurants to visit! Highly recommend!

The staff was the best part about my stay. Quite honestly, I was somewhat disappointed in the cleanliness of my room. The door my room had dirt marks all over it near where the key card is used. The walls in the room had some dirt on them as well. The bathroom was very clean, however. The beds were amazing! I loved the quietness of the room. The hotel does offer a lot of options such as the champagne on arrival and the wine in the afternoons and the cookies at night, but it would be nice to have a restaurant on site for other options if you don’t want to go out to eat. Very pleasant experience other than the few things mentioned. I would stay there again based on the staff as well as the location and the wonderful bed.
