We enjoyed the lovely rooms, great location in an arty, quirky area near nice restaurants, bars, and shops. Hotel facilities included a big pool, impressive breakfast in a sunny room, and safe parking. The staff was welcoming, attentive, and the beautiful Victorian view of Tabletop mountain was a bonus.
