Beautiful hotel, cold showers

The shower was inadequateā€” no hot water. We let the front desk know and they were very sweet and moved us to a new room. Unfortunately, that room also had no hot water. So we had to deal with barely warm/cold showers for the entire stayā€¦ and for the price of the hotel per night this seemed unreasonable. The hotel staff acknowledged that there had been other complaints and that they were looking into it. We had to dispute a charge for being upgrade for the inconvenience which was taken care of immediately. Beautiful property, very cold showers! Location was perfect! Staff was accommodating and lovely.

Iā€™ve stayed in this lovely hotel several times. Staff is lovely. It is time to update the mattresses. My first room had a mattress that was sunken in and felt like a spring was in my back. The staff were gracious to move me to another room. It was only slightly better.

Great hotel! Only thing to be aware of is the type of room you book. We made the mistake of booking a very tiny room which wasnā€™t ideal for a 4 night/5 day stay. Other than that, really great hotel, ambiance and staff! Will be back!

I stayed in a bi-level suite which was a great setup, however it faced an outdoor patio courtyard and was extremely noisy. Also, I had a package that was offered through Expedia and the discount described upon check-in (food and bev charged to room) was not what was given upon checkout. The hotel was very sketchy when I inquired. I would not recommend signing up for any inclusive room packages.
