I had a mixed experience at this boutique hotel. The location was fantastic with easy access to restaurants and attractions, and the breakfast was exceptional with fresh, quality options. However, the room layout was quite disappointing, lacking storage space and featuring a poorly designed bathroom. Overall, it was a stylish place, but there are definitely aspects that need improvement.
