Vintage building that has been well renovated to be clean and modern. So the rooms are a little small, with few reachable outlets, as they were built to older standards. But the modern fixtures are proper, beds are great, and the room fridge was suitably large.
The breakfast cafe was reasonably priced, and the food is good, but it is a little understaffed.
The small arcade was a nice diversion, but some of the machines need to be maintained/switched out.
Pool was good (Hot tub was under renovations during our stay).

I stayed here over Christmas and loved it so much I rebooked for New Year’s Eve. The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating, which made the whole stay feel easy and comfortable. The rooms are decent and cozy, and some are currently being renovated, which is nice to see. Overall, a great experience and I’d happily stay again.

Very comfortable room. I was surprised how quiet it was with being close to the trains. We enjoyed the mountain views. Appreciated the extra effort to help us celebrate my husband’s birthday. Our only disappointment was the hotel restaurant was closed both nights we tried to go for private events. They offer a 15% discount which would have been nice to use. Not a fault of the hotel but we were looking forward to it so maybe advise people of the closure.
