Hotel is quite lovely. Food in restaurant was fair in quality. Elevator did nt work so we had to lug everything up the stairs. We were given a room in the far corner of the hotel so we had to also lug everything down there. Said the room overlooked the courtyard but you couldn't see it for the tall tree. Trains ran down the track every 30 min or so, so sleep was impossible.

Unique & cool old hotel that was once a bank. Ear plugs in the room. Thoughtful touch! Not a lot of choices in the area. My Texas shaped waffle made my day!
