"Overall this is a lovely, unique property with a good location. Hotel was super quiet and easy to navigate. Our particular room didn't quite fit our needs. It was a two-bedroom apartment and since we were traveling with a 5-year old the second bedroom was too far from the primary bedroom. This would room would be great for older families or adults but I can't recommend for families traveling with young children. Breakfast was disappointing and very basic. Staff was present but not very welcoming."
