2night stay
Hotel is very old and needs updating. The hotel was being used for people that lost their home due to the hurricane so was busy. Very quiet despite this. Friendly staff. Street parking available.
Not sure about the pool the weather was to cold.

The hotel is in a great location.
Free breakfast is fantastic.
My room was cleaned only one time for a weeks stay. That needs improvement.
Water pressure is low. Could be better.
Overall a nice hotel.

Well kept gem!
We spent one night to attend a concert. We had to park on the street however was not a problem. The hotel is old but very well kept. The rooms were comfortable and quiet. The staff were all very welcoming. We would stay there again.

Loved our stay at this historic hotel
This hotel is quite a find. Loved the unique-ness of this historic hotel. We were in town for a wedding, and had about 8 rooms rented in all, they were each unique with the room layout. but all quite spacious. Hot breakfast with lots of options. Only downside was the coffee, recommend going to German bakery/coffee shop which was just a 5 minute walk away. (the apple struedel was excellent!)

Third choice post hurricane but an absolute gem.
Historic but lovingly maintained. Big room with lots of facilities. Breakfast is top class. The fresh waffles are life changing!
Nice bacon and great sausages. Cute cheese omelettes. Fresh fruit.
We’ll be back! X

We stayed in room 319. Room was cosy and reasonably well appointed, althoughthere was a distinct lack of mirrors, no bedside lamp on one side. Bathroom was cramped.
The hotel was once a historic building. One the ground floor the dining room was spacious and the breakfast offering very good. They use proper plates and cutlery unlike a lot of hotels.
A good selection of hot and cold food on offer.
Staff very friendly and helpful.
Pool outside was good but located right next to a busy junction, so at times very noisy.
Stays automatically qualify for their friends and family loyalty awards, so the next stay gets you better rates and a free room upgrade if booked direct.
Would stay again

I love this hotel. Great free hot breakfast. Nice large rooms.
More water pressure and better quality toilet paper would be an improvement.
I will be back!
