live musiceasy check-inloose tilesdaily housekeeping
i loved how easy it was to check in. the restaurant and bar downstairs were amazing! the live music there was such a bonus. our room was also lovely, though it was a bit of a walk upstairs, it was worth it!!!
The housekeeping service wasn't daily, and i didn't see that advertised anywhere. when i asked for daily service, it still wasn't done which was quite disappointing. also, the bathroom was a bit worn. Some tiles were loose, and things weren't as clean as i'd hoped.

The location was special. I was delighted by the unique rooms. The staff offered excellent recommendations.
The stairs were a bit much. There is no lift. Carrying my luggage up was not easy at all. I wish there was an elevator.
