This hotel is very well maintained and they do think of the details. It was a little pricey, and a little noisy. Staff w Liked: I liked the little things like coffee and croissants brought to the room in early morning. Or, the little treats given at the end of our stay. Disliked: Not being able to black out the room at night time or being able to hear when the neighbors turned on their showers or walked around. The price was a little steep. I also thought I was getting a room with a fireplace in it, and I did not.
