    Clean rooms and friendly staff made for a great stay

    I recently had a wonderful experience at this charming inn. The Queen Room was spacious and clean, and the staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful. The breakfast offered a great variety of choices, ensuring a pleasant start to the day. However, the breakfast dining area could use a bit more space during busy hours.

    delicious sandwiches
    nostalgic atmosphere
    excessive wait
    limited breakfast
    unpleasant odor

    The charm of a bygone era fills the air with a unique atmosphere that invites exploration. Enjoyed the delicious iconic sandwiches at breakfast, particularly the made-to-order omelets, but the breakfast area ran low on options by 9:00 am. The lobby's chess game adds to the nostalgic feel, making it a great spot to unwind. However, one evening had me waiting an excessive time at the front desk for service, which significantly detracted from what could have been a seamless stay.

    beautiful location

    I absolutely adored my stay! The room was spacious, clean, and filled with period furniture that gave it a cozy, vintage vibe. Plus, the location couldn't be better—you're just a short walk from delightful dining options and a picturesque park right behind the hotel!

    100% recommend 🥰🏨

    The staff handled a situation exceptionally well when they returned my forgotten credit card promptly. The queen room I stayed in was spacious and comfortable, which made our family feel right at home. I appreciated the peaceful environment, allowing us to relax after a long day of exploring.

    The amenities could be enhanced for a more enjoyable experience.

    Great stay for a family visit

    The location was ideal for visiting family. My room was clean and spacious with a microwave and refrigerator. The sink outside the bathroom was a bit odd, but not a dealbreaker. I loved the chips and water provided. Staff was super helpful too. Breakfast had a nice variety but nothing fancy. Room was quiet and comfortable.

    Charming and Convenient Stay

    My stay at this charming inn was fantastic! The room was spacious and clean, with a lovely view of the river, and the location couldn't be better for exploring the town. I appreciated the friendly service from the staff, especially when they went out of their way to return my forgotten credit card. One area for improvement could be the breakfast options, as I found them to be average.

    clean room
    nice park

    The hotel’s location next to a nice park was perfect for taking long walks, especially with the dog. I was impressed with how clean and quiet the room was, it really gave a sense of peace amidst the chaos of travel.

    It wasn’t exactly a bargain, but what do you expect for a place like this?

    welcome letter
    water bottle refill

    We had a lovely stay with spacious rooms and a nice touch of a welcome letter from the management. The hotel has a relaxing garden area and cozy leisure room, perfect for unwinding. Just a heads up, it would be great if there were places to refill water bottles, but it didn't take away from our overall experience! 😊
