“The welcome is notably warm, extending from the bar to the upper floors, and recent renovations have created family-friendly spaces that blend comfort with modern style; the location is central, though the sounds of the town are part of the experience. It's a traditional spot made more appealing by its attentive staff and updated rooms.”
