The area around the hotel was absolutely beautiful and then when you entered the hotel you realized how amazing the interior turned out to be. We enjoyed the sitting area with coffee and tea and loved to sit there in the morning before breakfast. Kudos to "Ed" who always had a smile and went out of his way to assist. This is a hotel you want to visit.
