The view was beautiful, the staff were friendly and accommodating ! Breakfast was cooked to order (from a short but very fair menu.) Very relaxed and calm atmosphere ! Looking forward to to going again !
Renee, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Beware photos from hotel are photoshopped. No fault to them but you can smell they were flooded in the past. Bring a candle and or spray. Upstairs might not be like that. Beautiful view. Great location. No onsite laundry. If you stay under the restaurant prepare yourself for the upstairs noise. Clean room. Reasonably priced! Escargot and wine was good!
Benjamin, 2-night trip

The staff was very helpful. The Hidaway Cafe on the property was worth the stay all by itself

Restaurant Gem

This hotel is past its prime for rooms. The reason to stay is the restaurant on site with Chef Freda. Her food is creative, fresh, and excellent.
