I would say setting a standard is difficult but important step in ranking a hotel. Between picking a great vs not a great hotel based on some reviews is a bit difficult and somewhat challenging. This pick was a great one. Kenzo helped in registering our car and made sure our stay is as comfortable as possible. Then we had the chance to meet Diana such a nice person with a friendly smile she made us feel welcomed and as if we knew her for our entire life. Picking the right staff at the front desk is key in the hospitality business since they are the face of the business. Thanks to Kenzo and Diana without a doubt I would recommend this hotel. I would like to take a moment and acknowledge the crew who organized our room and ensured our room is tidy. Thanks for the everything. Joe & Dolly

Room was small and falsely advertised on Expedia. Far too expensive for this small room. Bathroom door right off bedside was frosted glass sliding.. making privacy impossible, especially at night to switch on light. Fridge in room was broken and dirty inside. Would not recommend.

We like the proximity to shops, dining, and the friendliness of staff. Quaint and charming, but modernized. Excellent shower! Clean and nice linens. As a minor detail, bring your own hair conditioner, they only offer a body/hair wash.
