The room was lovely and spacious, the bathroom was lovely. The room was far too hot and the only fan that worked sounded like a helicopter was landing in the room. Also I think there must have been a nightclub nearby as the noise went on till past 3am. Staff were lovely.

Fantastic place to stay! The front desk staff could not have been more friendly, helpful, and informative. We absolutely adored our stay there, and I can’t wait to return. Try to get room 17. It’s beautiful, and like traveling back in time to another century. The bathroom was fit for royalty.
Beautiful and relaxing court yard. Great for having a drink and visiting with great people.

Room was ok, staff was excellent abut the beds were very uncomfortable and lumpy. Also, it’s very close to a very loud night club so there is music playing until 3am on weekends. It’s an older building so you definitely hear your neighbors. Cute cafe but they don’t serve dinner anymore.
