Michelle, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This is a very lovely hotel! It’s such a cozy place that feels like home. All the staff were very friendly and talkative. At 5pm they had complementary wine. At 7pm they brought out cookies. It’s also a 4 minute walk from a shopping market, which is very close. Overall, this experience was fabulous. I 100% recommend coming here if you want somewhere with history and you want to have a good experience.
Maria, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Staff were very accommodating. Room temperature was problematic due to air handling systems that did not provide a way to easily have air movement. It was unseasonably warm and the room became quite stuffy. Lots of lovely places to sit outside and on covered porches. Nice continental breakfast provided each morning.
