Charming Victorian Suite

Our stay in the Family Suite was fantastic! The room was gorgeous, filled with antique furniture that complemented the hotel's Victorian character. The bed was incredibly comfy, offering a wonderful night's sleep. It felt like stepping back in time, which was a good experience.

Luxurious Rain Shower

I stayed in a single room that had a wonderful rain shower. It was such a relaxing way to unwind after a day of exploring. The bathroom was tastefully restored and very clean, which enhanced my overall experience during my stay.
