Shakespeare Boutique Hotel

This was one of the 2 most charming places I have ever stayed (the other being in Greece). I was at the Shakespeare Hotel for 5 nights. The aesthics are delightful-- consistent and well thought out. Has a 19th century literary vibe, with a soothing color palette. One of the front desk concierges, such a warm sweet guy, gave me an excellent tip on where to get an amber massage. The breakfast buffet was delicious, super healthy and fresh, plenty of vegetarian options. (If you are vegan, call ahead.) I wish I could eat the cook's mushrooms three times a day for the rest of my life, soooo delicious! Breakfast rooms are gorgeous, and keep the aesthetic thread. My room had enough space for me to stretch after a run, rustic exposed wood, a desk, a charming view. No refrigerator. Bathroom was clean and spacious. The location was great for starting a run in the park (on dirt trails), then for a longer run you can cross the bridge and run along the river (~80% very hard stone, ~20% breaks for your knees with dirt trails). The ONLY thing I would give low points to was the shampoo. It super dried out my hair. I had better results using the body wash as shampoo. But there are little markets all over, within short wakking distance, so you can get different shampoo if you have a long stay. I would definitely stay here again.

Very good location in old town on a quiet see street. The area is very walkable and offers good access to dining, shopping, and the local attractions to see. The room is well appointed and the staff was very nice. The breakfast is good and offers many options.

The hotel is beautiful and the staff great, the breakfast was very good. The only problem was the refrigerator in our room didn't work. The location was perfect easy walking distance to most of the attractions.
