Good hotel overall, pool is nice. My room in particular was very small and you couldn’t walk around the bed, which felt harsh for the high price. People were lovely, breakfast was underwhelming, so skip that and go into town.

This is a fun hotel. A little 2020 “woke” in the branding but it’s in on the joke I think. “Heterofriendly” had me laughing as I’ve always thought, oh wow, hotel, thanks for being “gay-friendly”. In terms of amenities and spacious rooms it’s hard to beat in this old town.
