Very nice hotel, not far for all the attractions! It is a very busy street so of your room facing the street its very noisy if the windows are open! Breakfast- great! Very accommodating as well. We arrived before check in time and were let into the room early! I recommend!!

This place is “quirky”- a little hard to find as there is minimal signage out front and it is very unimpressive from the street. However inside it’s a wonderful surprise. Spacious and very clean rooms, quiet, very good continental breakfast and very helpful staff. Although be cautious as the front desk is not maned at all times. (We locked ourselves out of the room and there was nobody at the desk , fortunately we found a housekeeper who had access.) There is even a washer and dryer for use free of charge.it is not in the historic area but within walking distance of the old city and plenty of restaurants nearby. We enjoyed it our stay despite the quirkiness and would highly recommend.
