We really enjoyed our stay—our room was clean, comfortable, and close to first-rate, easily earning five stars on its own. The staff (or owner) was friendly, and we felt safe and well taken care of throughout our visit. The hotel also offered a very competitive rate and had a more appealing look, at least at first glance, than the chain across the street.
That said, we did notice a subtle basement-like smell in the hallway, possibly from past water damage—perhaps something to investigate, as the carpet might be the source. It didn’t affect our room experience, but it stood out in contrast to how well-kept the rest of the property was.
Breakfast was generous in spirit but might leave heartier appetites looking for more, especially those hoping for meat options. I ended up stepping out for something a bit more filling.
Overall, the positives outweighed the small concerns, and we’d definitely consider staying again. With just a couple of tweaks, this place could easily rival top-tier hotels.
