Disappointing experience
Definitely not a great place. Cleanliness was not great, dirty and dusty floors, hair in the sink, the trays were soaps and shampoo were displayed were full of toothpaste stains. The worse was the water pressure. I asked about it and they sent a gentleman that scraped calcium deposits from the sink spout which fixed the issue there but could not fix the pressure in the shower. There was barely enough water coming out of the shower head to get wet. He just gave me towels and left. They didn’t offer any solution like switching rooms or anything. The only upside of the place is the location.

My daughter and I loved this hotel. The decor throughout the hotel was lovely, very original and had a home like feeling. Our room was very clean as was the rest of the hotel. The staff were very professional and caring. We would definitely stay there again.

Location was fantastic. The interior design/boutique style of the hotel was beautiful. Free breakfast was extremely basic (breads, yogurt and coffee).
Front Desk - everyone was extremely hospitable except for one younger male attendant on Saturday morning. He wqs pretty unapproachable
