I found the location quite central. Parking at the rear was very convenient. The room offered plenty of electrical outlets. The restaurant provided a good variety for dinner. The food was AMAZING!!!

The room faced the front, and there were drunken conversations at the entrance. Beer deliveries added to the noise. I also noticed the noise from vehicles passing over the cobbled flooring.

Wonderful Anniversary Trip

warm welcomeeasy luggage transfercomfortable roomrough toilet paper

The staff greeted us warmly upon arrival. They carried our luggage to and from our room because of our mobility issues. The room seemed updated, yet familiar. We think it might have been the same one we occupied during our honeymoon.

The toilet paper was unexpectedly rough. I would expect a better quality in the bathroom. A minor inconvenience, it slightly detracted from the otherwise high standards.
