Decent hotel. I was attracted by the charm of the place, but it didn’t quite meet expectations. We stayed in an annex to the back. However, it was clean and comfortable. Breakfasts were very good. Wi-Fi signal was poor in our room.

Loved the stay. It was very relaxing and the environment was awesome. It didn’t feel like a corporate hotel, it felt like a reprieve. We loved it.
