A clean comfortable and cozy place friendly and welcoming with an attentive staff. We stayed for 4 nights in late November and would stay again. The room was clean and comfortable if a little small, though the en-suite bathroom off an inside hallway didn’t have much heat and was freezing. (It seems the floor heater wasn’t working and the staff couldn’t fix immediately). Aside from that, no issues. The location is great, right in the center of town, but be aware that if you drive, parking is a few picturesque blocks away at the public car park (free for guests) - not a problem but it would have been nice to know beforehand so we weren’t driving around trying to find parking at the hotel when we first arrived (not described on their web page). Recommend!
