Nice stay

The hotel is a cute boutique hotel very conveniently located in the heart of downtown. That being said l, there was no view whatsoever from our room, we overlooked an indoor courtyard which was very loud at night. The room itself was spacious and clean but the beds could use some updating as they creaked loudly with the slightest movement. Free breakfast was minimal. The rooftop lounge had a great happy hour. Overall we were happy with the stay as the location can’t be beat.

Pleasant stay but bad breakfast

Fantastic hotel with amazing service. Great bar too. Was impressed by everything except the “breakfast buffet”. A few pastries in bags and lukewarm coffee. Literally attached to a restaurant but didn’t have hot food or coffee on a Sunday morning during season.
