a charming stay near the museum

efficient storagethoughtful suggestionspecial attentionsmall window
the team greeted us warmly and efficiently stored our bags, as we arrived well before check-in. they suggested we explore the area, which i found quite thoughtful. when we returned, our bags were already in our room. this kind of attention.
the room's small window that barely opened was a bit disappointing. it was definitely a limitation in an otherwise lovely space. it would have been nice to have better ventilation.

I found the staff friendly. They were helpful throughout my visit. The location was really fantastic. The food at the restaurant exceeded my expectations. It was well above par. I really enjoyed the walkable distance to the main high street with its various food and beverage choices.
The room was very warm and I was not able to adjust the temperature, it was slightly uncomfortable.

The breakfast offered a wide variety of choices. I especially liked the omelet station and the fresh pastries. The Leopard Bar has a great selection of cocktails with live music on certain nights. High tea had delicate finger sandwiches and scones.

mixed feelings about my stay

convenient locationcracked tilesmissing mastic
The location was acceptable. It was close to many attractions.
The room felt quite dated. I noticed cracks in the bathroom tiles. mastic was missing around the sink. this gave an impression of poor maintenance and diminished the overall quality.
