“What strikes me is the serenity, a rare find so close to the city's pulse; the garden, complete with roaming rabbits and a fishpond, lends a resort-like calm. Being able to walk to favorite local restaurants is a definite plus, and the option to borrow a bike adds a touch of eco-friendly exploration. I appreciate that it welcomes pets, something not all hotels consider.”
