I recently stayed at this charming spot that felt like a collection of vintage terrace houses nicely updated for a cozy experience. The rooms had a lovely Victorian touch, and the inclusion of a continental breakfast was a nice perk. However, I found that the parking situation was a bit tricky, especially when reversing out, and the lack of dining options within walking distance was a downside. All in all, it was a pleasant stay for a short visit.

The hotel is conveniently located near the city center, but with limited nearby dining options, it requires a short drive for more choices.

I stayed at this hotel that felt more like a basic B&B rather than a boutique hotel. The rooms were spacious, clean, and comfortable, but the lack of a communal dining area and limited parking experience were not ideal. Breakfast was delivered to my room the day before, and while it was adequate, I expected more from a place labeled as 'boutique.' Overall, it's a decent stay if you're looking for basic accommodations away from the city center.

This charming hotel has so much character and is generally a comfortable place to stay. The rooms are spacious and well-kept, plus the shower is quite impressive! However, I did find the heating a little lacking, and the road noise was somewhat disruptive during the night. It's a bit far from downtown, but the off-street parking is convenient.

I found the hotel to be clean and comfortable, with charming character that makes it a step up from generic places. The rooms are spacious and well-kept, and the parking, while a bit tricky, doesn’t deter me from returning. On the downside, there isn't much nearby for dining options, and I found the breakfast a bit simplistic for a boutique experience.

The hotel is a charming place featuring beautifully restored interiors and spacious, comfortable rooms. It's quite peaceful despite being on a main street. However, accessing the off-street parking can be tricky, especially for larger vehicles, and dining options within walking distance are limited.
