Lovely stay in great location
Wonderful stay in historic and convenient location. The room was comfortable and clean, staff was friendly and welcoming. Only thing to be aware of is to step into the shower it is a tall step, may be difficult for short travelers.

You Should Stay Here
It was a wonderful hotel right downtown. The breakfast was great and the employees were super nice. The shower was a bit of a challenge, but all in all, it was exactly what we expected.

The hotel is great and clean. Excellent staff. The only issue is the noise late in the night in the street coming from people leaving the city downtown.

Beautiful, old school hotel right on Old Town Square. Late night crowds were a little loud, but it’s worth it for the location.

Nice place. The bathroom fixtures are a bit outdated, but the whole place was very clean. The bed wasn’t super comfortable, but it’s a perfect location if you want to be in the center of the tourist area.
