This is a great old hotel, which has been well maintained and renovated. Renovations include an elevator. The rooms are spacious and clean, and it's quiet most of the time. The exception is weekends: there are live bands playing downstairs, and it's really noisy. The bass and drums were vibrating through the floor and bed frame (my room was on the second floor). It didn't stop until midnight,, and I was jet lagged from my flight. The area around the hotel has lots of excellent eateries, cafes, and shopping, including a walking mall across the street.
