The hotel itself is very cute. Room is simply decorated but has all you need. Breakfast is delicious - we had 3 out of the 4 options and all were good. You do need to select specific time for breakfast as the space is limited. Hotel location is convenient and easy access to most places. Only downside is the water pressure for shower was a bit weak.
