Was a lovely stay! Only a few small things, no USB ports, for charging! Unable to change the temperature in the room, but the bonus was there was a portable fan for use! Room was clean and spacious. We did eat on site and the food was terrific, very busy spot but we luckily got a table.

We enjoyed the hospitality of the front desk and the restaurant workers. We had several nice breakfasts and a tasty dinner at the hotel restaruant, which seems to bring in locals. Although the Huntsman Inn is a bit of a walk to the Latin Quarter, we enjoyed our walks to and from. If you have a car, the parking lot will be useful.

Nice place, staff was nice. It was very hot with no AC, we opened the window however there is a large bright light in the parking lot and if you shut the blind it blocks the only air possible to cool down the room. It’s probably fun e in the colder weather.
