“This hotel has some interesting contrasts, with an old-fashioned charm that could use a refresh, yet the food seems genuinely good, and its location is superb for exploring the area; overall, it seems a bit uneven, but its potential is clear. What stood out to me was the exceptional service - a detail that genuinely elevates the experience. It's a place with character, for those who appreciate location and don't mind some quirks.”
