From the moment you checked in the staff was very inviting and welcoming. The room was really cute but the walls were really thin not too noisy though. Great great location, near a lot of cute restaurants and breweries.

Charming old building in a great area for restaurants and bars. Friendly staff and overall a very welcoming atmosphere. I would recommend. I was in the very nice looking private room which is right next to the reception, unfortunately however you can hear every conversation and game of pool happening in the lounge which was a bit annoying.
