Property is placed very well by the river, quite and very comfortable, it brings you back in time. Very good for relaxing and disconnecting for a couple of days. Walking distance to shops and museums in the area. the host was very cordial and polite. We enjoyed our girls weekend very much and this hotel did not disappoint.

Guy, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

Donna, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

I would stay again.
Bradley, 2-night trip

2/10 Terrible

I was double charged at check in, I paid for my stay and have a receipt from Expedia from the day I reserved my room, but was charged again at check in. If you pay at the time of reservation print a hard copy of your receipt before you go on vacation. I liked the hotel but didn’t get the room I reserved and paid double. I contacted Expedia and they tried to say I was supposed to pay at check in but was charged when I booked with them and also when I left the hotel. So do not use Expedia if you don’t want to be charged double.
