9.2/10 Wonderful! (591 reviews)
"Perfect stay, big, clean, comfortable room, helpful staff, good breakfast. Hotel was full but never felt busy/crowded. Location was ideal- right on the edge of the old town so everything was walkable, but still felt quiet enough to be removed from the hustle & bustle when you wanted."
