Charming hotel with amazing staff
Cute charming little hotel, the beds were absolutely terrible but the service was impeccable and made it worth the stay. Joaquim and Camille went out of their way to make our stay pleasant. Thank you. The location is also amazing and the history of the hotel was really nice but the smell in the room was bad, it smelled like food.
