Very good location and very accommodating/polite staff. Onsite restaurant was very quaint but somewhat limited hours. We only had afternoon appetizers and dessert there. Still enjoyable. Linens and rooms nice except mine (534) had significat water damage to leather portion of desk. Literally, the first thing you see when you open the door. Shows lack of attention to detail which is never great in hospitality.
