great size quiet nights wonderful staff attentive staff
the hotel boasts a great size. it's close to shops and restaurants, yet tucked away for quiet nights. the staff was wonderful (so attentive!), and breakfast exceeded my expectations. adam, the bartender, made a wonderful negroni.
i noticed the rooms could benefit from extra storage, like a full-length mirror.

inadequate shower design inadequate soundproofing
the breakfast included sufficient choices to start the day adequately.
The room i booked, a 'superior king room', had a shower of inadequate design. The water pooled near the toilet, a situation i found unacceptable. furthermore, soundproofing looked to be an afterthought. I distinctly heard conversations from adjacent rooms throughout my stay, disrupting any chance of undisturbed rest.
