breakfast optionspersonal feelclean hoteldated roomripped chairbathroom condition
The breakfast included awesome options. Pastries, tea, and coffee were accessible all day. i liked the building, it felt personal rather than like a chain. the hotel was beautiful, clean, light, and airy.
The room was dated, not in a quaint way. the chair in my room had a rip. the bathroom had seen better days. It didn't seem like much thought had gone into the room design.

I appreciated the complimentary tea and coffee available all day near the breakfast room. The chronological write-up of local history displayed in the reception area was excellent. My room had a balcony , and it was very comfortable and clean.
The parking on the hotel was limited , which required me to park on nearby streets.
