General Comments on Hotel: There were no prices on the menu in the restaurant. We were disappointed with the food – two people had steak that was so salty they were unable to finish. The view was fabulous. The building resembles an old monastery. The art on the walls was for sale. We thought the Deluxe rooms were cramped and would recommend a Junior Suite for clients.
