I couldn’t stay here with my kids, as I didn’t feel comfortable with our room. The hotel didn’t look or feel clean. Our chair in the room was ripped with no material on it, the bathroom was separate from our room. We ended up stayingin a different hotel for the night, when I returned the next day to drop off the key, the door to our room was opened.

Very interesting and historic old building with lots of old paintings anf artifacts in every room. The place was almost completely dead though on a midweek in July. Restaurant wasn't open and there were no other restaurants in this tiny town. The bar was closed when I attempted to enter at 8pm. The hotel room was basic but clean but I was disappointed by how quiet and empty it was.

This is very character hotel with lots of interesting artifacts collected by the ownwer over years, this is not typical hotel with a hotel service etc. If you are looking for a comfortable star service this is not a right place for you but if you are up to some adventure/or something memorable you will find it there.

It is interesting experience for sure. However, the general Hotel condition is not great. Most importantly, the towels and bed sheets are dirty, everything is covered with dust.

I liked that it is a historic old building and that it has an art gallery in it - lots of interesting art everywhere. Proprietor was pleasant, helpful and welcoming. As it is such an old building there are a lot of stairs to walk up and carry belongings, no elevator. I did not mind that but would not recommend to anyone unable to manage stairs.

Gilles was great checking us in and showing us around. The history in this place is worth the stay alone. Dave your pictures for your friends and family and not social media. This is a word of mouth place that needs to be seen to believed. Can’t wait to get back

There were cobwebs on the walls everywhere even in our room. While the bed was clean, the restaurant was closed and there was nothing available for the continental breakfast in the morning … we looked twice to see if there was anything available.

Not very accommodating, very dirty commons area, would not dare to have coffee or eat anything in there. No room in the little common fridge to put anything. It was filled with lots of old food. Two of the bathrooms were very dirty as well. The room was OK not much to report there. Saw very little of the staff who didn’t seem to be bothered. If you left your room door open, the cat would come in and make itself comfortable.
