Reviews and Ratings
The hotel was spotless and impeccably decorated, with bigger bathrooms, a lovely modern style, and a very good size. The staff were so nice and accommodating, exceeding expectations with their friendliness and helpfulness. The location was perfect, within walking distance to many areas of town and several great restaurants. The dining experience was a mix of European style almost like tapas but delicious. Overall, a great stay with some minor dining issues.
My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The rooms were clean, comfortable, and cheerful, providing a cozy atmosphere. The service was top-notch, with helpful and friendly staff, especially Peter, who made our check-in smooth. The location was ideal, tucked away enough to be peaceful yet a short walk to all the attractions. The dining experience was delightful, with delicious and unique small plates. Overall, a great value for money.

The service was very friendly and helpful, especially after 10 pm. The location was convenient, allowing me to park and walk downtown easily. The dining experience was delightful, with homemade breakfast options that changed daily. Overall, a great value for money.
