“The gardens are a defining feature, promising tranquility just off the main streets. Rooms, while comfortable, might benefit from some updating, and shower temperatures can be finicky. Breakfast is a highlight, offering delicious food at a reasonable cost, and the staff generally ensures a helpful stay.”
