I appreciate that it occupies two historic mansions - you get more character than you might expect for a 3-star. For travelers prioritizing location and that neighborhood's vibe, it's a smart pick.”

The room was indeed a perfect size for me, a solo traveler. the bed provided a deeply restful sleep, a true haven after long days exploring. the staff demonstrated really good kindness. I felt genuinely cared for with every interaction.
my room lacked a kettle, therefore i was unable to make tea in the room.
