Reviews and Ratings
The hotel has a lovely historical vibe with a great location close to many attractions. While the staff were very friendly and attentive, I found the rooms to be smaller than expected and the service could have been improved in some areas. Additionally, there was a missed opportunity when it came to stock replenishment in the room. Overall, my experience was enjoyable, but it didn’t quite meet the standard I hoped for given the price.
