AMAZING

It was really good, I arrived a bit late but it was still a amazing trip, cook building and rooms, everything was really clean and i really enjoyed it! Floor was a bit squecky in my room at least so i was worried about waking others, but also i get its an old building so maybe cant so to much abt that, But overall 10/10 would love to go here again

Fantastic stay in spacious annex

We had a fantastic stay in the hotel's annex apartment. The apartment was so spacious, clean and comfortable. We were able to get a great night's sleep, my partner away from my snoring! Check in was quick and friendly. Breakfast was a good continental selection.

Stayed here five years ago, eccentric place, old county jail, as a retired nurse who had worked at a county jail and a state prison, I was delighted by the place. Tack så mycket

Different...in a good way

This is a unique property which made for a fun stay. (My gosh though, those "prison" doors are heavy.) Everything was very clean. It made the shared bathroom factor a total non-issue. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

Fängslande övernattning

Trevlig upplevelse med lite annorlunda rum och hotell Saknade dock toa/dusch på rummet
1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Utmärkt boende för resande med en övernattning. Svala, säkra och tämligen ljudisolerade rum/celler. Hög renlighet över lag. Ingående frukost mycket bra och fullt tillräcklig. Tillmötesgående personal!
