On arrival Karin was very welcoming and did not rush us and was happy to have a chat and answer all our questions. Very knowledgeable about the area and history of hotel. She has done a remarkable job of restoring this iconic building. The room and bathroom were done very tastefully and were very comfortable. And the breakfast (continental style) was absolutely delicious and filling! Karins’ hospitality was above and beyond. Thanks.
