Many tasteful details! Charming place but I was disappointed with service. I requested down free bedding and was pro.ised such, but in fact had an allergic reaction to the bedding. Also, our room was never cleaned during our visit and one morning the chef just didn't show for breakfast.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Their management is very poor. We noticed a lot of dust and hair on the flowers right after we checked in, and requested cleaning the next day, but it was never done. During our four-night stay, we asked twice for dusting and vacuuming, yet nothing was ever cleaned. The staff were friendly, but they mistakenly charged me for someone else’s room service and never apologized when we called to address the issue. The real problem seems to be a lack of proper training and oversight from management. While the hotel itself had charm, I wouldn’t recommend staying there.
