The Beautiful King Room was fantastic! I found unique decorations, feel special! the bartender crafted amazing cocktails. Even near closing time, he took great care. The hotel's location made it easy to get around and explore, and everything was super convenient.

adequate stay, some issues noted

worn armchair quiet space

I found several issues . the armchair in the room was completely worn. Its springs were gone. it really was impossible to sit comfortably. also, there was no dedicated lounge area for hotel guests. The bar seemed prioritized for outside customers. live music was performed on two nights, but i missed a quiet space to relax after touring.

Cozy Stay

great location excellent bed supplied coffee

I booked the Beautiful Double room for a weekend getaway. This was my second stay at this hotel. I value its location, solitude and comfort. The bed is excellent, the bathroom is well equipped with nice linens and I appreciate the French press cafetiere in the room with supplied coffee.

All three of our rooms were not serviced on the Saturday. We had breakfast in our room and left do not disturb on the doors while we got ready for the wedding. We left at 12.50am, removing all 3 do not disturbs.
