My stay at Buswells Hotel was enjoyable, highlighted by the friendly and attentive staff. though it wasn’t without a few hiccups. The location was ideal, close to major attractions yet removed enough from the nightlife to maintain tranquility. While the room was spacious and comfortable, I did encounter some challenges with noise from the bar area. Overall, it was a lovely place to stay, filled with character and charm.
