I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were quieter but lacked charm with loud creaky wood floors, yet the balcony overlooking the main street was a nice touch. The hotel service was top-notch, especially with arranging our airport transfer. The location was central but a bit noisy, and the dining experience varied from being cold and not nice to great on the roof patio.
