The staff was very friendly and helpful. It’s close to everything. Wifi didn’t get a good signal so TV wasn’t receiving channels.

Quite surprised by the 4 star reviews which influenced our decision to stay here. Apparently, this hotel changed ownership about 2 years ago. In any event, while it has potential, we were disappointed both by the hotel, service and restaurant. Its located in a historic old mansion so we make allowance for the fact the everything in the old building will be less than perfect. However: we experienced: slow check in, many levels in the quirky building (apparently the place is about 3 buildings interconnected) and many different stairways with no assistance with bags, etc. Service for the included breakfast so slow that we ended up leaving (after over 20 mins wait) after ordering with no food. Inadequate outlets in room required unplugging lamps, etc. to power phone chargers, etc., beautiful room drapes.... but they could not be closed.... offering a view of the brick wall in the adjoining building and making it impossible to block out light in early morning. Bed comfortable but narrow (old style double). When we went to check out, we waited 10 minutes for someone to show up at the main desk; ended up just leaving our keys and driving away. You'll do better elsewhere; other nice B&Bs in the area.

Moquette sale, rideau déchiré, eau chaude très longue à arriver, salle de bain vétuste.. le petit déjeuner pas avant 8h, carte sale, serveuse mal aimable sans aucun sourire … Bref on n’y retournera jamais !!!!

Dejligt ophold i historiske omgivelser. Venligt personale og god stemning. Varmt vand var der masser af. Det mangler lidt vedligehold.

Nice central location and an historic building, but the rooms are not well maintained. Lots of stairs and no help with luggage. The staff are lovely and the food in the restaurant was good, but limited. No refrigerator or coffee machine in the room. No outlets near the bed sides for charging phones. There was a TV in the room but it wasn’t connected to anything (electricity or cable).

Shower and bath faucets did not work. The knob just spun around and you had no control over the temp. We were across from the bar and they booked an event so it was loud in our room. Then after party was over, the staff was crazy loud for another hour or so trying to close up for the night. Yelling at each other down the hall about the cash registers and such. It was disappointing as I had my elderly mother with me and she was unable to sleep there. Restaurant wasn’t great. Server was working hard but didn’t know the menu at all. We did get a show with our dinner though as the reception desk lady was trying to hook up/flirt with our server while he was working. It was a circus. I wouldn’t stay there again.
