I stayed here back in 2010 with family and decided to come back 9 years later to see if this place was as nice as I remembered and if travelling solo this time would measure up. Maybe I’m nostalgically biased, but I have a real soft spot for this hotel and how cozy it feels.
Do the floors creak deafeningly? Yes.
Do the beds squeak every time you move? Sure.
But if I wanted pristine monochrome soullessness then I’d go to a chain hotel. This place has indisputable character and charm which has apparently stood the test of time (for me anyway).
As a solo traveller I had just enough room for all my luggage and belongings, and was kindly provided with extra bedding which was extremely welcome at this time of year (the heating in the room is also a very helpful feature, easily adjusted and great for warming the room and drying laundry).
Basically, if you want everything perfectly pristine, go to a holiday inn, but if you want something authentically charming and cozy, then give this place a try.
