Historical Charm is Amazing!

cheerful staff excellent breakfast charming building great location

I found the staff cheerful! Breakfast tasted excellent and was affordable. The building has charm I really enjoyed. Location suited me well I must say. the pre-ordered breakfast is big!

The parking is a tricky situation. Small rooms can pose issues. The carpet showed its age and had a worn look.

The location is super walkable to places such as the waterfront and train station, so I didn't have to take a taxi. Many museums and many great restaurants are also super close. That is awesome!

fantastic location accommodating staff central heating minimal outlets

The location proved fantastic I could easily walk to the harbor pier and farmers market. The staff were accommodating even allowing me to check in early after a long flight I could catch some much-needed rest.

The room felt cold I realized there was only central heating available with no individual thermostat. I did not bother to request a heater I just layered up my clothing a bit more the minimal accessible outlets were also a slight inconvenience since most were already occupied by lamps.

i had such a fab time staying here. the hotel location is walkable to the waterfront which is such a bonus. i was able to check in early which i super needed after a red-eye flight, i appreciate the staff so much. the room was very clean, like super clean.

i wish there were fans or portable air conditioning in the top-level floors because the room was stuffy. that's not a huge deal, i'm sure i can ask next time.
