This hotel is tucked away in a local area but just minutes walk from the sites and main streets. The design and decor are charming and unique, but the biggest standout was the service. The staff went out of their way to help us with last minute and changing plans for the 1 night we stayed there. True hospitality!

Staff was helpful, generous and friendly. Accommodated early and late checkout. Took time to serve us a sweet and orient us with a map/list of restaurants. Breakfast was served at table with platters of pastry, meat, cheeses, fresh fruit, eggs, yogurt-very good!! The room was a little run down (we had Junior suite)-but for that it would have been excellent!!
