10/10 Excellent
"Although I was only here for one night, I was very impressed. It was beautifully decorated and had a nice charm. The staff were excellent. Very friendly and professional. The included breakfast was delicious. The room was comfortable and clean. Centrally located. They let me keep my luggage there after I checked out as I had to wait 3hrs to access my Airbnb. I would absolutely stay here again. Very happy with my stay. Thank you."
