Beautiful and classy but please please change or update your pillows. Someone booking a good room means they want a good rest. It’s terrible when you can’t sleep because you can feel the age lumps in your pillows. Everything else was great!

Great hotel and beautiful setting. My only issue was that the bed was not that comfortable so I had a bit of difficulty sleeping.
