The hotel has a fantastic location right in the center of town. That helped a lot. our room was not only comfortable but also beautifully designed and equipped with everything i needed. the staff were helpful and friendly. This.
the room we were in faced the street and, i could hear a lot of noise, which i found a bit disruptive at times. the windows did little to block out the noise, unfortunately.

stylish stay

high standardcustomer servicewalk-in showerlong wait
my room was furnished to a high standard with interesting furnishings. it was stylish and a bit different. i found the super clean comfortable bedding and walk in shower amazing. the level of customer service provided at all times really stood out to me.
i waited 45 minutes for my breakfast to be served from the point of ordering in the hotel restaurant. this was time i could have spent relaxing given that check out was at 11am. i did not receive an apology from the staff regarding the long wait time.
