Staying at the B & B was a mixed experience. The rooms were comfortable and beautifully designed, and the craft cocktails were delicious. However, the service was below par, with unfriendly and condescending staff. The location was interesting with convenient access to local spots, but the dining options were a letdown.

Staying on the third floor above the main entrance hallway meant dealing with some noise, but the room itself was cozy with a good shower and excellent heating system. The continental breakfast was a nice touch.

6.6/10

Staying at this hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were truly lovely and comfortable, but being located above the bar made it a bit loud until closing time at 11:00. The service was a mix of unfriendly and unaccommodating attitudes with some friendly and helpful interactions. The location was great if you enjoy a creative setting with artistic detailing but not ideal for quiet evenings or family stays. The dining options were somewhat lacking, offering plenty of processed carbs but leaving much to be desired. Despite the downsides, the facilities were satisfactory.
