I felt like I hit the jackpot with this hotel! The rooms were so cozy, and we had the most charming bathroom. However, being between two nightclubs meant it got pretty loud at times. The service was top-notch, but the dining experience, although traditional, could have offered a bit more variety. The location was super convenient, smack in the heart of Georgetown, although not right in the center. Overall, definitely worth the value for the price we paid.
