Nice spacious room, very clean and we enjoyed the location. We found drinks were quite expensive at the hotel bar so we didn’t not indulge. I would recommend using the laundry mat nearby opposed to the hotel ones. The ones in the hotel were always busy and did not adequately wash our clothes and the dryer did not work. Overall, lovely place to stay and we would love to be back!

We loved the casual feel of this hotel. All the staff were super welcoming every time you arrived or left the building. Walkable to many attractions. We enjoyed a glass of wine at the bar every evening. A lovely way to end the day
