Reviews and Ratings
Feedback about Mcgettigan'S Townhouse - Olives & Figs Bistro Hotel from previous guests about their experience.
i found the staff helpful . they provided great recommendations for local restaurants and attractions. the location was convenient and the bistro being closed didn't affect my plans much. the breakfast across the street was a short walk.
The room i stayed in was rather small. This impacted my overall comfort somewhat. i felt the price was pretty high for the size, though that seems typical for accommodations in the area. street noise was noticeable at times.
