Great guest service
My rating is not for my stay but for how they had an issue with my room. Before I arrived there was a plumbing issue in my room. When I arrived they had already found me an alternate place to stay, took care of my transfer, and made it the easiest check in possible - I am always impressed when a hotel responds professionally and quickly to an issue before the guest could even complain - well done

Great stay - safe, near the train station
Such an easy experience from the train station to dropping our bags to exploring the city. Quiet street but easy to get to the action of the city. Front desk was super nice and helpful. Wish we stayed one more night. Next time we return we will stay again.

Great location and service
Amazing historic property with small but functional and clean rooms. Helpful staff. Quiet location with excellent proximity to great restaurants and the main railway station. We left too early to sample breakfast but it was offered. Would stay again.
