The room was truly nice and had a lot of character, as did the whole building; it's one of the cooler hotels in which we've stayed. The view from our room was great, and the garden is beautiful - fruit trees, flowers, sun and shade; a great spot for breakfast. It would be remiss of me not to mention the audible music from a nearby club in the evenings. We were there on a weekend, so perhaps it was worse than during the week, but there was fairly loud music every night until 2:30 or 3am. I hate having to mention this, but if you are at all a light sleeper, you might want to ask for a room not on the water side.
