The best old hotel we have stayed in. Grand old hotel in mint condition. We could only stay one night due to our time table but would have liked a longer stay. Highly recommend.

Some reviews made me apprehensive. Our stay was great. Room spotless and quiet, en suite more than adequate, water pressure fabulous!!! Dinner menu more than adequate - apparently new cook/chef? Continental breakfast fine. All staff delightful. Would definitely stay again. Excellent value for the very reasonable tariff.

One cannot control the other guests who chose to talk in the corridor outside my bedroom. my self contained room was next door to the 4 shared bathrooms. So next time , I will ask for a room away from the shared bathrooms. The self serve continental breakfast was plentiful.

Hotel had a lot of historical character and was in a great downtown location. We rate the hotel in part because of historical character.
