Lovely place in very convenient location. Gorgeous rooms. Since our last stay: Bar entrance has moved next door. Breakfast has moved upstairs. Preferred the ambiance downstairs, and seemed like a little less selection, but still very good.

Beautiful, old building that lived up to its boutique atmosphere. Great (included) breakfast with attentive, friendly staff throughout our stay. Facilities appeared to need a little refreshing, paint job in room was not up to the standards of the rest of the hotel, but highly recommend for solicitous staff, great location, and comfortable, spacious room.
