Overall a nice place in a lovely location. The salmon dish at the restaurant was a tad too sweet, but to offset that, the service was great!

I only booked thru Expedia because the hotel didn’t answer their phone. So I booked a king room but upon check in I was told they overbooked and I would be given a “upgrade” to a double queen room, for the same price (somehow a double queen is more expensive?). Was slightly disappointed because I was looking forward to a king sized bed. Room was smaller than I expected and what was pictured. Everything was pretty decently clean tho. A full sized tub would have been nice. Overall, I don’t think it was worth the price paid tho. Can’t speak for the restaurant or any other amenities as I unfortunately didn’t have time for all that. Front desk staff was very friendly and nice.
