Staff were extremely helpful with tourist information and wayfinding. When our converter for electrical equipment was not functioning- the team sold us one ! Very convenient when we all rely on cell phones and charging them is a necessity. Great staff and delicious breakfast on site. I would definitely return to this hotel!

Fantastic location and adorable structure. Breakfast was good. Only heads up is there is only a taxi stand to drop off luggage, but hotel is walkable from the downtown rental car drop off. Overall - recommend.
