Theodore

United States, September 2023

8.2/10

My stay at the hotel was delightful. The location was perfect, right in historic downtown and close to various activities. The rooms were cozy and clean, although the shared bathroom down the hall was a bit inconvenient. The service from the manager was exceptional, making me feel welcome and valued during my stay. While the dining options, including the organic section, were a nice touch, I wish there were more choices available. The facilities met my expectations, adding to the overall positive experience.

The hotel is located close to everything, making it convenient for exploring the town, but being close to the activity above us could be a bit noisy at times. The original features of the rooms, with a tub and a queen bed, provided a unique experience, though the shared bathroom down the hall might not suit everyone. The dining experience with included risotto was a delightful surprise, adding value to our stay. The friendly service from their manager made us feel welcomed, but the price could be seen as slightly higher for the overall experience.

This hotel is not the most luxurious or modern, but it offers a comfortable stay with clean rooms and friendly staff. The location is convenient, close to the historic center and activities. However, the shared bathroom down the hall can be inconvenient, and the lack of in-room bathrooms may not suit everyone's preferences.
