Guest Ratings & Reviews
My stay at the hotel was a mix of highs and lows. The location was fantastic, within walking distance of many attractions, but I was a bit disappointed by the dining options. The rooms were clean and comfy, and the service was welcoming and pet-friendly.
I had a cozy stay at the hotel, enjoying its old-world vibe in the compact rooms. The service was top-notch, with helpful staff and a delightful breakfast to kickstart the day. However, the window in the room was not properly installed, letting cold air seep in, and the lone space heater was inadequate, missing on the last day.
The hotel's location was excellent, allowing us to easily explore the historic district on foot. The rooms were on the smaller side, and the lack of a refrigerator or a tea-making facility was a bit inconvenient. Despite some room issues, the service was commendable, especially from Donna. The dining options were limited but satisfactory, and the hotel's facilities were decent.
