Staff helpful, communicative, and friendly. Price exceptional. Room clean and functional (though if TV is important to you, this was just 4 random channels, one of which had no sound).
In interest of transparency: 'Boutique hotel' is a 2* inn in a slightly rough part of town. The hotel is clearly still a project in progress, but everything that has been updated so far is lovely. When finished I'm sure it will be something special.
