Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is a cozy place in the heart of Georgetown with a welcoming atmosphere and some room for improvement in the dining options. The friendly staff and comfortable rooms make for a pleasant stay, though the balcony might need some attention. The location is convenient but lacks vibrant street life right outside.
This hotel truly exceeded my expectations! The rooms were cozy and clean, and the staff was incredibly attentive and friendly. However, the visible dirt on the carpet was a bit off-putting, and the balcony was a nice touch. The location was perfect for exploring nearby tourist attractions, although the lack of street life was noticeable. The dining experience was exceptional with mouth-watering dishes, and the facilities were top-notch.
