They have a problem with little or no air conditioning in the rooms and you cannot open the windows. Also, the refrigerator was non-functioning. Also, parking requires a permit from the city and the hotel does not tell you that. Found that out the hard way with a ticket on the windshield.

The location was on an island and only a 20 minute walk to the city center. Great location, however, the room was very hot and we were not allowed to open the windows. Breakfast, a light snack between 3-5 pm is served, plus dinner is included. That is served between 6-8 every night. The breakfast was the best part.

Due to a change in flights, we arrived super late (11pm) and had a short turn-around leaving at 4am the following morning. We didn't get to enjoy the property as intended, but the overnight desk staff person packed up a special breakfast brown bag to go for us - so thoughtful and the attention to detail and customer service that we seek when we choose accommodations!

What a great hotel with an amazing history! It used to be a jail and now is a modern hotel but they kept the character from the past. The breakfast and dinner buffets were great and it was nice not to have to go out and find places to eat every meal. The staff was amazing and I would definitely stay here again.
