We loved the Baren...from the cute bear logos to the comfort of the bed and the spectacular view and delicious meals. I love the family feel.

Excellent continental breakfast with a selection of local foods. The waitress was always very nice and greeted us with a smile and cappuccino! Wonderful way to start the morning.

Brenna United States of America

view was amazing and the staff was the friendliest. they went out of their way to assist you.

Csnyder United States of America

The hotel is run by a family who clearly loves their property, It is sparkly clean, and fairly comfortable. Meals can be a part of the board; it is ok and on par with most restaurants in the area. Breakfast is good with a wide spread of choices; it would have been nice to have eggs made to order, Staff were so nice and always had a smile on their faces. Beds were futons mattresses, which is a hit-or-miss depending on what one prefers. There is room for a desk with chair but not much more sitting area. Sound-proofing was pretty amazing because even though we were adjacent to the elevator and the front lobby as well as facing the street, we didn't have any problem with noise.
