I had a mixed experience at this boutique hotel. The location is fantastic, close to shops and restaurants, and the rooms are spacious and charming, but the service left something to be desired. It was disappointing to feel like an inconvenience during my stay, especially when moving rooms for my additional night, and I was surprised to be charged for coffee and bottled water, which doesn't align with what I expect from a hotel of this caliber.
