The hotel has a charming interior and offers comfortable rooms, although it lacks any meal services and the reception hours are limited. While I enjoyed my stay thanks to the friendly staff and the accurate room descriptions online, the noise from the rain on the tin roof and the absence of breakfast options were drawbacks. Overall, it provides good value for money if you're looking for a simple stay in a central location.

I had an amazing time staying at this boutique hotel! The location is just perfect, right in the center of town, making it easy to explore all the attractions and find great restaurants nearby. The rooms are clean and spacious, but it would have been nice if they were a tad bigger than what I expected from the photos. The management and staff were very welcoming and went above and beyond to make my stay comfortable. However, there is no on-site restaurant, which might be a downside for those looking for dining options within the hotel.

I had a lovely four-night stay at the Abbott Boutique Hotel, which beautifully blends the old-world charm of a late 1800s building with modern comforts. The spacious rooms were well-furnished and included everything I needed for both business and leisure. However, the absence of off-street parking was a bit of a hassle during peak times, and they don't offer breakfast. Overall, it's a great choice for a comfortable and convenient stay.
