I was very pleased with the hotel, and would happily stay again. I liked that they made very sure on their website that we’d know this was a small room before booking. And it was very affordable for this time of year! My room was quite well laid out, with quality materials and attention to leaving a low environmental impact. The overall visual design theme to the hotel wasn’t my very favorite, but it’s lovely, well done, and surely many other peoples’ favorite. Staff was great. I don’t mean 4 stars as a negative score. For me, 5 stars is “jaw-dropping”, 4 stars means that everything was very very good.
