Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Our second stay there (prior May 2024) but warm (July) and no a/c or stairs so need to take that into consideration. Room was small and overlooked noisy parking lot- even noisy after 11 PM with windows open due to no a/c. Would not stay there again unless during shoulder/cooler season when windows are closed. Quaint 320-year old chalet hotel, so that was appealing.

We very much enjoyed our two nights stay at Hotel Baren. We liked being located in a cozy neighborhood which is well served by an efficient bus route. The staff was instantly welcoming, and our room was large and very comfortable. We especially enjoyed the balcony with a Mountain View. We enjoyed two delicious breakfasts as well as one of the best dinners we had during our visit, served in the dining room. Our waiter, Daniel, was efficient for our group of six and went out of his way to make our dining experience special. The Bear Inn was a highlight of our stay in the area!
