9 / 10Outstanding·Oct 2026

Very quiet location. Beds were comfortable Loved the hot shower. Breakfast was decent with fruits, yoghurt, breads, and a nice hot eggs dish. Turkish eggs on 2nd day were delicious.

Breads/Bagels could be better. Bobs Breads is opposite the hotel and had such delicious bagels and croissants. Think these could be served. Coffee also can be better. Would be nice to have an elevator even though its 1 storey if one has knee problems like my spouse.

Location was great. Room was unique. Nice Happy Hour.

Breakfast was OK, not great.

8 / 10Excellent·Oct 2026

It was a nice quiet inn. The people were friendly and the cocktail hour was lovely. There were plenty of common areas that were comfortable.

The toilet was very close to the ground which was difficult for my tall husband. The stairways were quite steep.

5 / 10·Oct 2026

Room was humble. Staff was very nice and accommodating. They helped get our bags upstairs and downstairs.

No elevator. No staff after 8pm. Ice machine out of order. Breakfast was mediocre and very slow service. Mattress needs to be replaced. It was like sleeping in a hole. Not a good value for over $600 per night.
