Really good Boutique Hotel Experience

spacious roomlit fireplacespower portslimited variety
My three nights at this hotel were nice. The sitting area in the entry featured beautiful décor. The cozy breakfast room and the bar included seating near lit fireplaces. My room was spacious with USB ports, European power ports, a coffee maker, and a safe.
The cold breakfast options had limited quality and variety though the hot options were excellent.
