My stay at The Argus was truly memorable, with amazing owner engagement from Terra and Matt, who made me feel welcome and shared fascinating insights about the hotel's history. The architectural beauty of the place left me in awe, providing a visual feast during my stay. One downside, however, was the lack of variety in the dining options; while breakfast was plentiful, I hoped to find more choices available throughout the day.
