Clean room, nice staff, late night bar and friendly locals. The hotel is dated but this is reflected in the price, it’s always my go to place. The beds are comfy and clean only downside is the air conditioning units can be a little noisy.

2/10 Poor
Blood on the wall and heat didnt work in first room. Requested new room, 2nd room had connecting doors with antique unsecure locks. Possible homeless people who muttered nonsense in the lobby. There are stairs at every entrance. Impossible to get luggage cart through the doors and hallways. It looked super cute and boutique online, just run down and dirty in person.

My stay was only for 1 night and it was good. Did not need service from the staff other than checking in. That took longer than I thought it would.

Very large rooms. Unique hotel stay, a step back in time with all amenities of 21st century. Enjoyed having a “cooked for you” rather than buffet breakfast. No need to drive for dinner or drinks, Tom Tom Tap had it all. Nice area for an evening walk.

Historic Hotel
It’s a historic hotel that is very clean with modernish furnishings. The beds are updated and comfy. The other furniture is not new, but is clean and looks nice. Room heater/air updated and very quiet. Room size very spacious. Breakfast is small menu, but they cook to order and was very tasty. Fun experience and I would stay again.
