How this is written: we run the full set of recent Google reviews through AI to pull out what guests consistently say — including the complaints, which is why there's a downsides list rather than only the good bits. It's rewritten as new reviews come in, so it describes the hotel as it is now, not as it was whenever someone last got round to writing a paragraph about it. Read the reviews yourself on Google Maps.

While being quite delicious, I think there’s a distinct need for a second waffle maker. Waiting 20+ minutes for 2 waffles isn’t ideal. Fun little spot, though.

I really love this cozy and comfortable spot! The passion fruit lemon tea tastes amazing, and they offer a variety of milk teas; the atmosphere in the shop is great, too
