“The ongoing renovations aim to bring the historic charm up to date, though some rooms are above the sports bar and can be noisy. However, the friendly staff and surprisingly good bar burger by the fireplace contribute to an overall pleasant stay, especially if you appreciate a bit of character over guaranteed quiet.”
