Charming hotel, friendly staff
This hotel was a residence at one time so the layout is a little strange. On the second floor, there is a large living room area connected to two tandem bedrooms, the master reached via a small bedroom; this would be ideal for a family. Other guests on this floor have access to the living room. There is also a large balcony. I had a small room with a bath; no shower per se, just a tub with a hand shower attachment, a little awkward to use.
The staff were very friendly and accommodating.
I would stay there again.
