The hotel rooms are a bit tiny but had all modern amenities, making them efficient yet warm and stylish. They overlooked the street, which was great. The service was super friendly and accommodating. The location is awesome, especially for exploring the historic attractions nearby. The dining experience had quite a few options to choose from, although it was a bit of a letdown. Overall, a mixed but pleasant stay.

The hotel was cozy and accommodating, with tiny rooms lacking coffee facilities, but it made up for it with a quiet air conditioning system. The rooms might be small with low water pressure, yet nothing significant to deter me from a future stay.

I found the hotel to be a mixed experience. The location was convenient, although noise could be an issue at times. The rooms, though smaller than expected, were actually perfect for just me, but adjustments to the room temperature were limited. The service was friendly and calm, but I had to deal with an unexpected plumbing issue. The dining experience offered a decent selection but nothing too exciting. Despite the drawbacks, the value for money was reasonable.

The King size bedroom was a bit small but warm and stylish in a classic way. The room was too hot, and there was NO ventilation. The pipes banged when water shut off, breakfast started late at 7 am, no Do Not Disturb sign was available, the bathroom was tiny, and the hallway lighting was dim.
