Unique property in perfect location to the historical district. Felt very safe at night. A bit tough to get parking, but they help you on that.

The room was absolutely beautiful! Perfect location (view of the canal) and the breakfast was quaint and delicious. I also enjoyed the rooftop bar and the amazing view from there. The staff were extremely friendly and the bed was incredibly comfortable with soft pillows. I will absolutely stay here ...
