Room was very large, modern bathroom. Bed needs replacing and hotel still has loud slamming doors, which was awful with boys soccer teams staying at hotel. Night wine, water reception was cute, could probably throw in a cracker, fruit? The hotel was stunning, charming as it was older, built well, but needs a refresh in rooms. Great location to shops, dining, all walkable. Bar made great cocktails, was busy.

Beautiful hotel in a great location. Clean, modern, excellent staff. Really enjoyed the charcuterie at the lobby bar, too. My one complaint is the TV in the room was oddly ancient. Could not get any streaming channels. Could not even use Apple Air play to cast shows from my phone or computer.
