Its thoughtful design, coupled with an eagerness from the staff to cater to every need, makes for a stay where the quality of experience genuinely justifies the rate. The lively atmosphere of the connected bar, a hub for both locals and guests, adds a layer of authentic charm that's hard to find elsewhere.”
