Beautiful property in a great location. Staff was very friendly and help. The room was spacing clean, but all of the furniture was very low to tue ground. If you have back or knee issues, you would have trouble staying here.

You can’t beat the property for access to public transportation, the lake and great bars / restaurants. The breakfast buffet is expensive at $35. The staff in the bar and restaurant are great. My room was a decent size but not really updated. All in all not bad.

Great stay! I wasn’t sure what to expect since I didn’t know much about the hotel beforehand, but I was pleasantly surprised. The staff was friendly and welcoming, especially the team at the bar, who provided excellent service throughout our stay. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, with plenty of room to relax. The hotel has a lot of character, and you can tell it’s a historic building, which adds to its charm. At the same time, the décor is tasteful and well maintained. The surrounding area is very walkable, making it easy to explore nearby attractions, restaurants, and shops. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I would definitely stay here again.
