Wonderful stay. Would definitely make the trip back!!!
Absolutely wonderful hotel. Our checkin was simple, parking was great, it’s a beautiful spot, the staff was super helpful and gracious, and the rooms were large and comfortable. The breakfast was the best we’ve had on our two week trip in Europe - it was awesome!

Great stay.
I was worried the hotel would be too far away from the town center. However, the bus right outside the hotel was quite convenient coming every 15 minutes. A visitor card was offered that covers local transportation.
The room was spacious and clean. The only drawback was we arrived during the heat of summer, and only a fan is available. Breakfast was very nice and variety of choices. Staff were courteous and helpful. Very nice outdoor poor with a great view, but it closes at 7:30pm.
