Room was spacious, and comfortable. Shower had lots of pressure. Great location to access theatre and popular sites. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Room could use some refreshing. Had an issue being charged for breakfasts that we didn’t have, but the staff reimbursed our card that was held on deposit. Would stay there again.

Average stay. This has nothing to do with the building being old or historical; that part is actually charming. The real issue is maintenance: the place needs a fresh coat of paint, the carpets in the rooms are tired and should be replaced, and even the chairs in the bedrooms are worn and wobbly. Breakfast buffer was “ok” — the quality and the assortment not what you’d expect from a 5-star hotel. Overall, it fell short of the standard it claims to offer.
