Totally unsuitable for a person with a disability. Too may stairs, very small rooms. Bathroom so small knees touched the shower doors when sitting on the toilet. Lift has doors that close too quickly. My husband would be half way out, walking with a walker and get hit by the doors despite my efforts to keep them open. Beautiful views from the front but we were in the back over a car park. I had asked for accessible room and was not told they had none.

It is a lovely refined property , with attentive helpful staff. We arrived an hour before Check-in, waited 30 minutes for our room to be ready, then checked in. We were surprised with an early checkin fee as we checked out. I don't like surprise fees this should have been explained up front

Quick overnight stay. Hotel was extremely busy with an event going on. Massive crowds of people while trying to check in all through the lobby and bar area. Did dine in and instead of being in the normal restaurant area we were in the area behind the bar overlooking the water, this was fabulous- view and sunset were beautiful. Food was excellent. Hotel is dated and needs some freshening up. Room was ok but toilet was not clean in our room and carpet was gross. A room near ours had room service tray on floor outside of their door when we went in after dinner and it was still there in the morning, this was disgusting and some liquids had spilled over the tray onto hallway carpet. Would not stay here again if in the area.
