Clean and friendly staff. Elegant building with charm. We stayed in February and the old windows were very drafty which made us crank the heat.

Our stay was absolutely amazing. You could tell that our room had been recently redone, it was very nice. We enjoyed the spa and all it had to offer. Great way to spend a couple's day away. The food was fantastic in the lounge. The only drawback is that there is a conference room right above and it is not sound proofed. The music from the event was drowning out the nice soft music in the lounge. Besides that, everything was fantastic!
