"Excellent location and the views from our room was worth the price of admission. The room felt a bit tired and bedding could use an up grade. Lots of nightly turnover so the hotel always felt very busy."

10/10 Excellent
"This place is a hidden gem, within a senior’s residence. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable. It took us awhile to figure out that we needed to use the little remotes for closing the window blinds for privacy at night. The bathroom is huge. The kitchen was one of the best-equipped we’ve ever stayed in. The staff, especially Clemence, were kind, patient and very helpful. We chose to have our breakfast in our room, and it was plentiful. (Note that you have to order/register for any meals the day before you want it.) The location is excellent, within walking distance to the castle. But my hubby had difficulty climbing that hill, so we took the #3 transit bus from the bus stop across the street to the top of the hill. (There may have been a stop closer to the hotel, so if you want that option, check first). The A/C was easy to figure out. We highly recommend this wonderful hotel."
