The location was perfect for exploring the local attractions. i found the inn to be very authentic, a definite plus. the patio offered a relaxing space to unwind after a day of sightseeing. good hotel parking was also available. This was a definite advantage.

The evening meal was not up to par. I found it to be dried out. the service was not the best either, disappointing.

The room was clean and well furnished with everything i needed.

I booked a room i thought had a certain view, but it only looked out onto another roof. The toilet felt squeezed into a tiny space, and it was quite tight.
