Everyone was so friendly. The hotel was spotless. The hotel was very welcoming, wish we could have stayed longer, we will be back
This historic place remains at the top of my places to stay. Great staff. Clean comfy rooms. Middle of town location makes it accessible to all shopping and dining
I had a fantastic experience at this hotel. The staff were welcoming, the room was spotless and comfortable, and the amenities were well‑maintained. Breakfast was fresh and far better than expected. Every interaction felt genuine, and I left feeling relaxed and well cared for. I’d gladly stay again.
Room was clean, ac was new, walls are thin lol. But it’s an old building sooo. Breakfast was good, they have hot chocolate, coffee, tea, cookies available all day. We enjoyed our visit.
El hotel esta bastante bonito y acogedor ,la de recepcion no son las mas amables pero no fue grosera ,la hanitacion bastante limpia aunque el baño tubo sus detalles,en la Noche se pudo descansar a pesar de ser un lugar centrico ,El desayuno estubo Bien
