Interesting historic small hotel offering excellent service in a highly convenient location
Pros:

Small hotel in a historic building close enough to the centre of Georgetown historic distric but on a peaceful side street. Very easy to walk to tourist sites. Staff very helpful. Simple but excellent breakfast. Excellent value for money.

Cons:

Being picky the bed was a little hard but having said that I slept well having walked for miles around the city. Fine for a short stay.

Pros:

The ever smiling staff and services that will not let you down.

Cons:

No modern facilities like gym, swimming pool or banquet but not too much of an issue because it is vintage and very comforting vibes in all areas.
