The hotel seemed like old converted horse stables, adding a quirky touch to the stay. The rooms were musty with outdated decor, in need of refurbishment, especially the bathroom. The service was excellent, with friendly and helpful staff. The location was convenient for exploring the historic town of Dorchester and nearby attractions. The dining experience offered freshly cooked dishes but lacked options like cereal and fruit.

The hotel is very centrally located in Dorchester, offering a good base for exploring the town. The rooms are comfortable, but some maintenance and updating are needed. The service is friendly and accommodating, with a mix of positive and negative dining experiences. The location provides convenience, although some noise disturbances were noticed. Overall, a decent option with a few areas that could be improved.

The rooms, though comfortable, could do with a lick of paint. I felt a bit uneasy having to keep my ground floor window open due to security concerns.

The hotel had a charming almost Bistro-like setup for room service, although the room itself appeared tired and could have been cleaner. The space was generous and peaceful at night. The service by all staff members was exceptional, going above and beyond to accommodate us. The location was ideal, right in the town center with easy access to local attractions. The dining experience was pleasant with a good variety of choices. However, some areas needed better maintenance.
