Chris from United Kingdom (9/10)
Very clean and central. Exceptional linens. There was a great selection for breakfast and the coffee was good for a hotel!! Also got to see some raccoons which blew my mind!!!!
Noriko from United States (9/10)
The bed is very comfortable. Their rooms are for 2 people, so we needed to make a reservation for 2 rooms. It costs very expensive; however, the rooms are connected with double doors. That is very wonderful for my family,
