superb experience
stylish rooms attentive staff
i found the renovated building to be beautifully maintained. the central location offered easy access to local attractions. i particularly appreciated the attentive staff and the stylish rooms.
i found the bar and lounge areas quite small. because many non-residents were also using the hotel, securing a table for coffee or drinks was difficult, especially over the weekend. it detracted slightly from the overall experience.

stylish stay
comfy bar original features recent refurbishment delicious desserts
I found original features in the comfy bar area, perfect for pre-meal drinks. I noted the building had undergone recent refurbishment after a fire. the ambiance in the restaurant was quite lovely. i appreciated the early dinner service catering to families with children. the desserts, especially, tasted delicious.
Street noise was noticeable. Gulls and early morning waste collection disrupted sleep. i found the window didn't seal well, which amplified the noise due to thin glass.

Wonderful Staff and Relaxing Room
comfy bed relaxing chairs spacious tub
The front desk staff greeted me warmly and showed me to my room. My room had a big comfortable bed, two relaxing chairs, and a bathroom. The bathroom included a deep tub and a great shower. It was all super clean. The restaurant staff served me a tasty meal upon arrival and delicious eggs Benedict for breakfast. I was promptly seated and enjoyed really good customer service. I am grateful for such a restful and luxurious experience.
The hotel has many stairs, and there is no lift to reach the top floor. The floor in my room was also quite slanted.

The hotel enjoys a super location. The surroundings offer much to explore. The area is full of character. I loved the central position, with access to nearby attractions and points of interest. It is really a great spot.
