For the location, building & resonable price

Beautiful historic building, in a great location. Other pluses: free underground parking and free use of the fabulous sports center and swimming pool. because it's such a unique building, it has a very special ambiance. On the down side: The room was OK but a tad shabby. In my room (229), the shower flooded the whole bathroom. The front desk are friendly enough, though at 7.30am there was noone behind the desk. And the elevator... there is just one, quite tiny, so make sure you leave enough time when leaving or coming back, as the wait time might be long.

Chef Jarod's breakfasts were delicious (just wish it had been included in price of staying there), beautiful grounds, lovely and helpful staff, bell tower view is the best! Wish the chairs for the "restaurant" had less holes and a better introduction to the place when checking in. Rooms hangers were a bit dusty and a musky smell in room (3rd floor I guess hasn't gotten the rennovation yet).

Excellent property, but could still use some upgrading. We stayed 4 nights, and one night the air conditioning only felt like a fan, but besides that, all was good. The YMCA gym, pool, jacuzzi is a real bonus, first class facilities and can share with locals. Very convenient to walk to all. Very quiet, no traffic noise. Very quiet room. Lobby area is beautiful. Shout out to Pauline, she was a big help getting contact info for us.

Great location and staff

The best things about the hotel are the location and the staff. Francis was there whenever we needed anything. The rest of the staff was great as well. Only negatives were that the A/C wasn’t available and the lights flickered at times.
