The hotel is in a great location close to shops restaurants and markets. The staff were friendly and extremely helpful. The hotel is charming even though it’s older.
The hotel stay was a pleasure. Easy walking distance to everything we wanted to visit. Excellent recommendations from the staff regarding places to eat. Restaurant and bar were worth the visit.
From the moment we pulled up in our car to the front entrance, we were greeted by help staff and valet service. The interior of this historic hotel is beautiful and welcoming. Our rooms were very clean and comfortable. We would definitely stay here again and can highly recommend it.
The room was nice, but do not depend on the pull-out couch to sleep on. The one in our room was horrible!
The location of the hotel is perfect for shopping and restaurants. The lobby is beautiful, and the staff was very nice.
