fantastic!

easy parking live music
I loved that the hotel was right by all the shops and restaurants (what a location!). parking was super easy since it was right next to the building. I felt totally secure leaving my car there. the wine garden was amazing, especially with live music on friday nights, i had a fantastic time in that area.
the music went on quite late, and there was not enough soundproofing in the room.
