Reviews and Ratings
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were small but cozy, although everything felt sideways due to the room's tilt, but the staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful. The location was excellent right in the heart of the town, but there were some noise issues until early morning. The dining was satisfactory and within walking distance of attractions.
The hotel had wonderful rooms that were clean and cozy, but it was uncomfortably warm the next morning with heating issues. The service was mostly accommodating and polite, although there were moments that lacked friendliness. The location was excellent, right in the heart of the town, but some noise disturbances were observed late at night. The dining experience varied from very good to a major disappointment. Overall, a nice stay with some minor hiccups.
The hotel was very clean, staff was helpful and friendly. The rooms, although a bit small, were great overall despite the high shower pressure causing a flood in the bathroom. The manager was incredibly nice and helpful, which makes me willing to stay again despite the issue.
The hotel was a lovely choice, with beautifully newly decorated deluxe double rooms. However, being onto the main street caused some noise issues, and the rooms were a bit small. Overall, we were satisfied with what the room offered.
