“The comfortable beds here are genuinely a highlight, with spacious rooms and bathrooms that make for a restful stay. I was also impressed by the genuinely friendly staff and the building's historical character, complemented by a thoughtful arrangement for breakfast when the kitchen was unexpectedly closed. It's a place that clearly prioritizes a welcoming atmosphere and guest comfort.”
