We liked the property, the staff and service were great. Did not care for how thin the walls are - we could hear the people above us stomping around and our room was on the street - lots of early morning street noise.

They think of everything. You check in and they take your bags, park your car and that’s all you have to think about until you fill in your breakfast order that night. Lovely courtyard dining and a 2 Michelin star restaurant on site. It was a lovely break we sorely needed.
