Reviews and Ratings
The hotel has a welcoming ambiance and attentive service. The rooms are cozy and well-equipped, but some areas need improvement. The dining options are satisfactory, and the facilities contribute to a pleasant stay overall.
The hotel boasts a convenient location in the center, but the restaurant could use some improvements. The rooms offer an excellent walk-in shower, but lack bedside tables or cabinets. The service is commendable, especially for helping me retrieve a forgotten item after check-out. The dining experience provides good quality food, featuring hand-cut steaks. Overall, the hotel impresses on many fronts, yet the restaurant could be enhanced for a better experience.
The hotel offers a delightful blend of historic charm and modern comfort. The rooms are freshly remodeled, retaining their historic touches, and boast very clean en-suite bathrooms. The service was top-notch, especially with the assistance provided when I left something behind after check-out. The location is superb, within walking distance of the train station and amidst the cozy ambiance of a restaurant with a real fire. The dining experience was enjoyable with good quality food, while the facilities were convenient and well-maintained.
