My stay at The Little Nell was filled with both highs and lows. The location is unbeatable, just steps away from the Ajax lift, and the staff were exceptionally friendly and accommodating. however, I experienced cleanliness issues in my room that should not occur at a five-star hotel. Overall, the comfort of the room and the attentiveness of the staff impressed me, though some aspects, including the dining options, left room for improvement.
