Great
Pros:

Nice and cozy, friendly staff, very authentic.
We really liked that we can rent a bike. They even provide child bicycle.
We would come back.

Cons:

Some veggie at the breakfast would be nice. But actually it is hard to find any hotel in the US which provide them so it is not a real minus.

Pros:

Great location, we were upgraded to a suite so that was a nice surprise, wish I could have had a nicer view, but I guess we can't have it all. Price is still a little steep, but I think the location is what keeps it up there. All in all, we had a nice stay, I would recommend staying here.

Cons:

For the price I paid, I didn't expect to look out our windows to a brick wall😌
