Fantastic Stay in Quiet Location!

usb outletsconvenient locationthin pillows
I really loved the USB outlets in the room because I did not need an outlet converter! The hotel has a great location just off Great Pulteney Street. Almost every major tourist attraction is a short walk. I would stay here again!
The pillows were too thin, a minor inconvenience .

Charming stay!

helpful staffgreat locationexcellent touches
The staff were kind and helpful. I was pleased we chose to stay here! The location is great, a short walk from the train station. There were little touches such as the honesty bar, sleep kits and robes, i found those excellent.
Breakfast only included continental options, and the choice was somewhat limited.
