    We enjoyed our whole experience with you.

    The breakfast was superb, very delicious and lots of great choices. All the staff were really friendly, welcoming and attentive. The building has been beautifully renovated and we loved all the blue furnishings and accessories. The evening meal was also delicious and everything was beautifully presented. We really enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend The Cookie Jar to our friends and family.

    I dare anyone to find anything wrong with this property! That would be like someone not loving Betty White. Or puppies. It’s not possible.

    Words really fail me to explain how special this property was. The attention to every single detail was exquisite. I’m a professional organizer. My business is details. I’ve never seen anything like this. Everything - even the lights on the floor that automatically come on when you walk into the bathroom - was planned perfectly when this former convent was remodeled to make a sacred space for all its guests. There was even framed sheet music in the halls to, I assume, pay homage to the beautiful music that must’ve once graced the hallways. The staff was so warm and welcoming. The breakfast buffet was like something out of a Veranda magazine spread. The breakfast was delicious. At every turn in the hotel and the room itself, we were met with a delightful and unexpected experience. Who puts this much thought into a public space? The Cookie Jar does. You made our once-in-a-lifetime trip unforgettable.

    I was very hot in bed at night in spite of the radiator having been turned off. I remember reading somewhere that Simba mattresses were used in the bedroom. Perhaps this type of mattress retains heat or maybe it was just me having one of my hot spells.

    Although the food was quite good in the Bistro, the evening menu was a little limited for choice. The breakfast choice served in the Bistro was good. However, not the greatest full breakfast, considering the price (probably a, 7, or maybe 8 out of 10)

    The location, the service, the facilities, the room were all excellent, fantastic even.The bed was very comfortable and the bath & shower really, really good. Some nice touches with the history and some of the little extras (cookies, shampoo etc..)
