Beautiful hotel, with elegant rooms, excellent service and in a wonderful location. It was decked out for Easter, which was a special extra touch. We had drinks in their hip, but comfortable bar, and dinner in the Wild Honey Bistro. Other than a small issue with the TV in our room, which was fixed, it was a perfect stay.
