I had a lovely stay at this hotel, which featured a charming garden and a cozy breakfast room that opened into a nice courtyard. The staff were incredibly helpful, and I appreciated the delicious food served in the restaurant. However, I noticed that the rooms could use some updates, especially those facing the busy street, which made for a noisy night. Overall, it was comfortable enough, but there's room for improvement.

Overall, my experience was mixed. The hotel boasts a lovely decor and a classy coffee stop, but I was quite disappointed with the room size and comfort. While the staff was friendly and the breakfast was enjoyable, my sleeping arrangements left much to be desired. The dining could also use some improvement. It's a charming place, but a bit more attention to detail would enhance the stay significantly.
