It is luxurious hotel, small and boutique style. Breakfast was included in the stay and food was great. Not having an elevator made it difficult to move luggage and the room size doesn't allow for suitcases. The room could also use drawer space to put things away in. The bathroom was beautiful and floor was heated. Staff was incredibly nice and friendly. We thoroughly enhjoyed our stay
