“Old, noisy and overpriced”
The morning receptionist was very friendly, but the man at night was rude. The bar is quite nice (though the dusty lamps clearly haven’t been cleaned in years).

“Recommended, but Get your breakfast elsewhere”
Historic building with quiet location. Helpful staff We also enjoyed lunch at the restaurant. Outstanding lunch with very good service. Supisingly The breakfast was a joke - a sharing table w muffins and coffe and juice located outside the elevator. We had to move up one store to get ours.

“Romantic Getaway”
Loved the hotel itself and the location. The neighborhood is absolutely stunning and close to major spots in downtown. The hotel has so much character with being a historic site - I actually loved that we got a room key instead of a card. The room was spacious, clean and very cozy. It was also quiet, which was great on a relaxing getaway.
