Great location and a great vibe consistent with the historic town setting. Hotel has a first class bar and breakfast was very good. It is a unique hotel with the shower and bathroom sink built in a loft above the main bedroom with the toilet area on the first floor. Outside noise is a little loud as well but overall would highly recommend this place.
