It's not every day that I can say there is nothing else I could ask for in a place.
This is one of those rare exceptions. It was far more than what I had expected, and that says a lot since I was already smitten by the pics online I had seen.
We stayed four nights in the "historical king with balcony"...room A1. I hadn't realized that the hotel was actually two buildings, side by side. The main lobby was in the building with the hotel sign attached. In this building there was also the lovely breakfast/sunroom area as well as the door to the gardens with tables as well if the weather allows. Speaking of breakfast, it was simple but delightful. More than enough to start the day.
Our room was in the connecting building. In fact, it was the entire 3rd level. Yes...there are a lot of stairs so it is not handicap accessible, but the luggage can be taken up with the small "luggage lift". The room was amazingly large with a full kitchen as well as....a second level!! Yes...there is a second level up a few stairs that opens to a bit of a living/reading room area and there is the door to the lovely balcony at this level.
The balcony has a table and chairs and is quite roomy considering it's one of the few actual balconies around. The view....spectacular.
The hotel has a deal with the parking garage around the corner, so after you drop your things at the hotel, you'll have a special card to go park the car and, as we did, leave it there for as long as you like. If you pay cash at the end of your stay you will avoid the added taxes. The price is more than fair.
The hotels location is ideal to almost everything. It's a very short walk to the center of the old town as well as all shopping and restaurants.
Considering we were there during the weekend of the G7 Summits, I have to say that there was little disruption and we had a most wonderful time.
The staff at this lovely hotel was cheerful and helpful and always a smile to share and willing to help in any way.
I'd like to extend a big "thank you" to the lovely ladies who work there and I'd be sure to stay there again if returning to that beautiful city in the future.
