This hotel is beautiful and has a historic look to it, the floor tiles are so pretty! Super high ceilings and very comfortable room. The open bar was an amazing welcome after a stressful day and a nice way to mingle with some other guests, it's a very calm vibe though so it allows you to completely relax right away. The staff was very nice, helpful, and efficient. I will 1000% stay here again!

Great staff and I love the location which is walking distance to restaurants and sites. The rooms are sufficient for a short stay, I stayed here twice and got the exact same room both trips. Having the beautiful lobby, bar, and rooftop makes the place feel more spacious. No elevators but the view from the rooftop is worth the exercise.
