The Genevieve

10/10 Excellent
"The beds were super comfy and the rooms are spacious. The jetted bathtub in the room was very relaxing and filled up fast. We had cocktails next door at Victor which has a posh speak easy feel. Breakfast was great, free on site parking, small and quaint property. Only stayed one night; next time will stay longer."
