jeanie, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

The room was clean, the beds were so comfortable with great pillows. Really liked the little balconies. The staff was kind and friendly and let us check in a little early. The only thing that needs attention is just the common areas around check in, they seem a little rundown and could use a good clean, everything else was wonderful.
Crystal, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Historic and unique accommodation with balcony and a quiet internal courtyard with trees. Clean, comfy bedding. Friendly and helpful staff. There was a resort fee that I hadn’t anticipated but it came with a free drink at the bar at least.
