It is a very quaint place. Nice personal atmosphere with clean rooms and spectacular service. This is now my go to place to stay when I visit. If there was a way to give more than 5 stars I would. Very convenient to a liquor store and a few shops.

Loved the property and location. However, my room was next door to the cafe and a maintenance room. Very loud...and I got awakened at 6:45 am by some staff members taking loudly right outside my door. Would stay there again, but DEFINITELY not in that particular room.
