Room #2 in the historic part of the hotel is good except for the window that gives on a very close wall, making it dark and impossible to see the sky.

Beautiful and charming hotel

Beautiful old hotel with lovely furnishings and charm. Check in and out was quick and easy. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Wish we’d been able to stay more than two days but hope to be back next year.

There's better value at the same price point. Historic side-shared bathrooms occupied most of the time. Need more bathrooms. Room is v small and cramped.

The shuttle driver picked us up at the train station, handled our bags and was a great guy. Front desk staff is friendly and helpful.
The older part was originally a bordello.

Really nice place, the only thing I’d say is some of the rooms have a shared shower/bathroom. I don’t feel it was clear enough at time of booking. Even so, it’s clean nice and well maintained so I’m still happy with the stay.
