Amazing hotel. Staff was very helpful with an issue we had. It was taken care of the next day. The rooms are very well and thoughtfully renovated to the old charm of the building. With modern amenities. If you have a chance don’t miss a stay here.

The hotel was pretty with a nice bar. The bar appetizers were not good, we tried mushroom fries which were heavily battered and too peppery. The drinks were great but I’d skip the food. The room was lovely, comfy bed, great bathroom but had a tub/shower. Free breakfast was basic. The staff were all great. Parking was easy.
