I did not know how helpful a hotel employee could be. Most nice places get the big things, but there were several small things that slowly add up to a magical experience. If I list them they almost sound trivial, but when you've been out all day a perfectly timed glass of water that you didn't realize you needed makes your stay feel amazing. It wasn't just one instance. Time and time again Emma's staff proved to know what I needed before I did. I would name names, but unfortunately there were too many positive encounters to remember everyone. Highly recommend this for a romantic getaway.

Hotel Emma has the most amazing staff we have ever experienced. Everyone was friendly and seemed happy to be there. The aesthetic of Hotel was just outstanding. I could've stayed longer exploring. it was clean and well cared for. the breakfast at the restaurant was truly superb. We also used the hotel bikes to explore the area. That was truly amazing.

What if you arrived at a beautifully renovated historic building, were met by a friendly staff member, someone parked your car and a charming bartender, full of stories, brought you a welcome cocktail in the beautiful lobby. Adjoining rooms each with private terrace, were lovely, clean and quiet. The bellman had to rearrange one room, but chocolates and champagne appeared to smooth over any inconvenience. Coffee arrived in a carafe in your room whenever you liked in the morning. And all these features were included in the price quoted. That's the way it happened at Hotel Emma. Someone is thinking about what the hotel guest wants! That's the way it should be.
