Overall our stay here was acceptable. We typically book boutique hotels because the hosts are usually extra hospitable, but not here. We were treated like we would be treated in a large chain hotel, but with far less smiles. Upon walking in & checking in: we did not feel welcomed. So much so, that we considered booking another hotel & leaving. Our impression was that guests were a burden & that any questions were irritating. Perhaps a career is hospitality is not suited to some personalities.
The only good thing was the lovely breakfast spread with made to order cappuccinos & eggs. (Though we didn’t realize we could order eggs as that was not offered to us. We only learned it on our 2nd to last day after witnessing other guests doing so.) The cook at breakfast was very nice. Funny quirk: she was baking fresh muffins & cakes, but when we asked if we could have one of the freshly baked items that was cooling on the counter she said “no, not for you, they are for tomorrow.”
Cleanliness: Everything appeared clean at first glance. But I took off my shoes in our room & my socks were covered in dust & other people’s hair within minutes. I almost asked if I could have a vacuum to clean the room better. Thankfully the bathroom was far cleaner than the floor.
Location was good: few minutes walk uphill from the main pedestrian street, which we booked to avoid too much noise. Windows blocked out some of construction noise from across the street.
