"Wonderful location, right in the heart of town and yet the room was so quiet. We faced the street side, but could not hear any traffic or noise of any kind. Our room was spacious, clean, and well stocked with complimentary water and wine in the fridge. Staff were absolutely wonderful! We did not end up having the breakfast, but our friend did, and she raved about it – especially the fresh fruit."
