I would definitely recommend staying here for a couple days while touring the area for amazing Pinot Noir and Chardonnay wines. We noted a couple issues but otherwise would have given five stars. Only the two bedroom units appear to have air conditioning. The advertised laundry facilities are minimal (one shared washer and drier) which are also used by local staff. Regardless, everyone has been pleasant providing exceptional service.

Front desk was unable to honor that price quote (paid $155/night) but the staff person was otherwise very friendly and helpful with getting us checked in. He let us look at 2 rooms so we could see what size was right for us and even bumped another booking to a different room so that we could have a room further back from the street. The rooms are very large. We got a standard room and it had a super king bed and a single bed, the spa bath tub, a table and 2 chairs and plenty of kitchen stuff (plates, fridge, cooktop, microwave and sink). We also looked at the one bedroom suite - it was enormous and on 2 levels. Would definitely recommend and would stay here again. We walked around the square and had dinner at an Irish pub about a block from here. This place is across the street from a mall and there are several eating establishments within a very short walking distance.

Its only a 5 minute walk to the water front where there are a ton of shops, restaurants and running trails. Walking into the hotel is like, well... the name... a museum. Incredible artwork grace the exterior walls of the building as well as every inch of the lobby. My room was comfy and decorated with more art pieces and floor to ceiling mirrors on most of the walls. Only complaint is the shower head had very little water pressure making showering a little difficult. I highly recommend the hotel for the experience and location.

The bar on the ground floor is great and they do backpacker specials like a BBQ once a week which are great value. Failing that, there's a cracking Chinese a few doors up ;)
