Hotel is on hill above the city. So away from hustle. Building very lovely. Parking available but should be free for hotel guests!. Staff was friendly. Room was clean and functional. Bed comfy. Like the bed etc. for the dog. Let downs: 1. restaurant food very disappointing from choice, size, bland, and unjustified pricing. Would not recommend to eat there. 2. Spa needs a renovation. Unappealing. No spa feeling. Badly functioning steam room. No sauna. Would not recommend selected accommodation choice with included spa option as paying a high price for little. To sleep nice place. To eat there are better places.
