Service is great and they do a lot of little things that add to the stay. The only negative is the bed frames are very worn - but the mattresses and linens are great.

Charming but needs upgrades.

Charming hotel in a great location that is showing its age. Staff was great, but at some point, you have to update the bathrooms etc at this price. Room was comfortable but dark and dowdy.

Snarky check in. No smile. No welcoming greeting.. Pro forma . Bored. Done this a million times. Glaring due to the contrast to the enthusiastic reception we’d experienced the day before at another hotel. As an older couple with obviously heavy luggage we were surprised that hotel receptionist suggested we could take the elevator OR the stairs, a very steep set of stairs. Room decor was tired, door to the drink cabinet fell off when we opened it. Exceedingly small bathroom. In stark contrast the valet was extremely enthusiastic and accommodating.Isn’t this all upside down?
