“This hotel caught my eye for its pet-friendly approach and its location, a stroll away from the Congress Theatre and Devonshire Park; the personalized breakfast service and the historical charm also stood out as potential highlights. However, the retro decor might not suit every taste, and some may find the maintenance lacking based on what I've gathered. In my view, it's a budget-conscious choice with some quirks.”
