<description><![CDATA[My husband and I located this "boutique hotel" through bnbfinder.com and decided to spend our 5th wedding anniversary there.  We booked a fairly upscale room accomodation in this supposedly upscale bnb and we were EXTREMELY disappointed!  First of all - we booked a "King Loft Suite" and were surprised to find it had a queen size bed.  When we questioned the hotel, they claimed that it was a king size bed - it was not.  The refrigerator was broken and we asked about that also and were told that there was nothing they could do since there was no maintenance man there that day (ON A SATURDAY! - the busiest hotel day of the week?)  Then we came back from dinner to find 2 men from Dtv in our room - they were fixing the tvs, but we hadn't been notified that there was going to be anyone in our room - and since they were not employees of the hotel - I feel that there should have been a hotel employee with them in our room instead of letting them roam around free.  Oh, and by the way- they never fixed the tv in the bedroom either.  The absolute last straw was when we came down for breakfast, which their website advertised as a "european breakfast served in their fireside lounge"  and which turned out to be a continental breakfast in the lobby which you served yourself.  There was a toaster, some bagels and danishes and coffee and warm oj.  I was so upset and disappointed that we went back to the room and we called the front desk where the clerk was extremely un-helpful.  When we questioned the breakfast - he said it was not a bnb - but then why did we find it on this website?  After our extensive complaining - the hotel gave us a 20% discount on our room which was appreciated.  Overall - we would definitely NOT recommend this establishment.  They claimed to be very posh but were just very snobbish and unaccomodating.  Their website borders on fraud - it is so misleading.]]></description>
