Liked: Staff & service
It’s ok. Could use a deep clean and our room had a view of a roof but it was in a great location. Power went out for about two hours one night we were there; that was interesting. Room small, no luggage cradle, no iron, but they had a steamer. Hair dryer terrible/cheap, they should upgrade those. Shower area was ok, but the shower head not practical, low water pressure. Bed was not good, too soft, caved in in the center. Terrible pillows. For the price I don’t think I’d stay here again and will try another place.

The hotel was a lovely boutique style and comfortable. The location was very central. The continental breakfast was ok, but expected a little better considering the cost and the coffee was awful. We ended up going next door for coffee most mornings. Most of the staff were friendly and welcoming but not all
