This hotel is an excellent choice!

This is a beautiful,1906 hotel that has been maintained its historic floors, metal post and iron works, and general appearance. The breakfast was nice and the lounge was open with drinks and snacks all day. The people were very helpful and did their best to make our stay happy! We recommend it!

Very convenient location to all the major tourist areas around Georgetown. The staff was amazing and very helpful, always there to help plan the day with recommendations and providing tips. The only downside was the WiFi was slow. Overall, excellent hotel.

A true boutique hotel

The band across the street played loud music until 2330. The staff were amazingly wonderful and good. This is a true boutique hotel not to be confused with anything modern, but it was truly comfortable and charming.

An excellent place to stay

The hotel is reasonably small so you get personal service. It is located in a convenient location for restaurants and an easy walk into town. The facilities were very good and the staff were extremely helpful. Nothing was too much effort. A great place to stay in an interesting town.

The location is excellent. Most places walkable. The staff are most attentive to the needs of the guest. We were made to feel like part of of family. Albert in particular went out of the way to make us feel comfortable. Eddy was the consummate host. A most memorable stay.
