“There's a relaxed charm to this hotel that stands out, with touches like the bar's ability to craft a perfect eye-opener adding to its appeal. Dog-friendly amenities extend beyond the expected, with thoughtful additions such as dog blankets and bowls, plus I appreciated the breakfast, especially pastries, bagels, and roasted potatoes. I think it makes for a particularly enjoyable stay.”
