I had a wonderful stay at this hotel with its charming and cozy ambiance that made me feel right at home. The spacious rooms were beautifully decorated and featured high-quality amenities that truly enhanced my comfort. I also loved the unique breakfast options available each morning. On the downside, while the happy hour experience was delightful, I would have preferred a more extensive dining menu for meals other than breakfast.

My stay at the hotel was quite enjoyable with a charming and cozy ambiance that made me feel right at home. The spacious and beautifully decorated rooms provided a comfortable retreat after a day of exploring nearby restaurants. The unique breakfast options, especially the homemade pastries, were a delightful surprise. However, I wish the Wi-Fi was complimentary, as it was an added cost that I didn't expect.
