Very unique hotel- it’s not a 5 star- but maybe in 1800s it was. I liked the quirkiness. Staff were very nice! Overall- great stay. Possibly communicate private functions. We chose this hotel because we wanted to dine on rooftop. Ooops- private function closed!

The property is in the perfect location and the front desk staff made the stay even more amazing. We would definitely return and I would have given it five stars on every level if it didn't ten minutes to get hot water (not eco-friendly) or having dirty plates both mornings during breakfast. Everything else was exceptional!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Lovely stay. Comfortable room and bed. One issue was the blinds were not fully functional and needed repair. And the inability to plug in the coffee tea equipment in a convenient spot was frustrating. I understand it’s an older building but the furniture should be set up and chosen so that you don’t need to move furniture or rearrange the desk to make coffee! Charming property but I would go for a larger room next time! Great staff. Thank you!
