The staff was very friendly and the restaurant was very good. Our bedroom was small, but okay. However, the bathroom needs attention. Super large, but smelled very strongly of bleach when we first arrived. By the 2nd day, the smell turned kind of musty. If the bathroom could be updated or cleaner, our rating would have been a 4.

We enjoyed the hospitality of the front desk and the restaurant workers. We had several nice breakfasts and a tasty dinner at the hotel restaruant, which seems to bring in locals. Although the Huntsman Inn is a bit of a walk to the Latin Quarter, we enjoyed our walks to and from. If you have a car, the parking lot will be useful.
