Exquisitely appointed and well maintained historic property. My husband and I enjoyed a quiet one night stay in this charming hotel. We chose a room with a balcony overlooking the water fountain below where we enjoyed wine and appetizers (self provided). There aren't a lot of nice places in town to dine, so this was a good way to go. The staff was a mixed bag. The lady who checked us in in the evening was lovely. The lady who was running things in the morning, not so much - unfriendly, looked stressed out while managing the breakfast (for only 3 people in the dining room) and in general, seemed annoyed with the thought of helping us. We asked if we could use the complimentary bikes for a short ride around town when we went to check out early (check out was 11a, we checked out of our room at 10:15a). She made a mild stink about it. We couldn't figure out why, after all, our room was vacated early and we just wanted to borrow two of the 8 available bikes for 30 mins or so. We would have used the bikes earlier but we were waiting for the rain to stop.
The breakfast leaves a lot to be desired. Given the luxury this hotel attempts to imply, the breakfast is basic. The coffee was weak, the reheated quiche looked overly cooked as were the potatoes, the fruit was your basic melon mix. The croissants were a nice touch but there was nothing special about the breakfast. Add some jam, some berries to the fruit...it wouldn't take much. Sadly it was lacking the "excite and delight!"
