Not a boutique hotel
I was put in a room which was not in the hotel, but down the driveway, out the back. There were broken blinds, so people could see in from the driveway. There was a hole in the bedroom door which someone had done a shoddy job of trying to putty up. There was a dent in the bedroom wall. The headboard was not attached properly and the bed was uncomfortable. The bathroom was not clean. I just felt dirty being there and did not enjoy my stay. It does not meet my definition of a boutique hotel.

Room was comfortable, warm & clean. The honour system for drinks downstairs was a lovely idea, of which we took advantage! Seating area was inviting. Stairs to upstairs rooms very steep. Would definitely stay again.
