I had a lovely stay at this hotel. It’s charming with its historic ambiance and exceptional convenience to local attractions. The rooms, while comfortable, had some drawbacks; mine was quite small and the shower space could be improved. On the plus side, the staff was incredibly accommodating, especially during my wedding event. Dining at the hotel was delightful, though the prices were higher than expected for some dishes.
