the hotel has a charming feel, different from typical hotels. i found practical touches, like seating for putting on boots and hooks for coats. the furniture is carefully chosen vintage, the art is original. my room included an antique bed with a perfect mattress and plump pillows.

the coffee machine proved difficult to operate, requiring placement on the floor for plugging in, this made getting tea a slight hassle
