Wonderful Boutique Hotel Experience

ideal locationwarm roomperfect servicestreet noise
This lovely hotel offered a fantastic central location. It made ventures to many points of interest quite walkable. I found the rooms clean, warm, and well-appointed (the bed was super comfy!). The staff provided perfect service. I look forward to returning!
I had a beautiful room. the noise from the street was significant. The lack of soundproofing disrupted my sleep. I was expecting quieter evenings considering the room price.
