Weekend disaster
After we arrived we were informed that there was no elevator to our room. The beans in the room were so low we couldn't move about the room without hunching over. We were supposed to get VIP status but the front desk knew nothing about it and to top it off or new car was broken into on our list night and the rest window completely smashed out. This is apparently a common occurrence at this hotel. Would never risk staying there again.

I will come back anyway
À big room with a large bathroom.
Pretty
The walls are thin enough to hear people talking in the hallway. You can hear those above you walking.

Great Stay!
We had a great experience at the hotel. The staff were friendly and accommodating. Small issue with the curtain that was quickly resolved. Curtains and bedding were dated but clean as was the rest of the room. I would recommend this hotel to anyone.

Great stay. Very reasonable price for a large but cosy attic room, complete with a fireplace, and a jetted bathtub. Breakfast was included but was pretty basic for the quality of the hotel, but everything else was great!

Lovely location and atmosphere
Lovely building, quiet, and comfy bed. Staff was friendly and courteous. Towels, bedding and overall room were clean but there were visible water streaks and handprints on bathroom walks. Just felt a little neglected. Room could also use some optional brighter lighting.
Enjoyed the location - was able to walk the area and find nice shops and restaurants. Would stay here again and do more exploring by foot.
