Frommer's Review
This is the best choice for the nostalgia buff. Around 1900 a local entrepreneur, operating from the core of an early-16th-century tavern in the heart of the old town, began slowly but systematically buying up the historic real estate around him. The result you'll see today incorporates seven antique houses -- the oldest dating from 1517 -- into a well-orchestrated whole. Inside, a confusing but charming labyrinth of hallways, many accented with exposed stone and beams, and, in some cases, with artfully old-fashioned paneling, lead to the cozy bedrooms. All rooms are well maintained and have neatly kept bathrooms. Here, warm colors and a sense of yesteryear combine with modern extras for winning four-star comforts.
Even if you don't stay here, consider a meal in the artfully rustic dining room.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
