The staff was wonderful. We were greeted by Magdalena who went above and beyond. And our room was so big and comfy. My only small issues were the bed wasn't very comfortable, I'm pregnant and it's very hard. Killed my hips. And the temp control; there are two controls but one the Nest doesn't work at all, and the other works when it wants to. We like to sleep in the cold, so not a big issue. ![Bedroom ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0bafd388-f36e-4682-9056-6ee5503636af-1760795669165.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Dining area, kitchenette, door to bathroom ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/85f08e45-ca21-4e13-b801-adb0e4fce195-1760795671653.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Balcony view](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/a0c6f300-74c7-4870-ad3f-080805288588-1760795670051.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Front](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/5f90991f-735e-4e06-98e1-a092f7bbf672-1760795674889.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Andrea Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### KALAB Oct 6, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Staff was great; very welcoming and friendly.

Very clean, very comfortable, and quite beautiful. It made us want to sit around and drink whiskey and write flowery prose. We arrived late, at 7:15, and Tito from the front desk took our large bags and ran them up the stairs as if they were nothing. "I went to the gym today," he said. Although the house was built in the late 1800s, it had all the amenities of the 21st century - WIFI, Nest thermometer, and a good shower. Oh, and at one point, the house was a funeral home.
