Good location, clean room, great bar, good breakfast
They are renovating some rooms but the place was excellent the food, the staff, and above all the location is perfect for walking to all major sites in the city. Also very close to public transportation. Highly recommend.
A wonderful regal hotel steeped in history. Clean, warm and very helpful friendly staff.
A very relaxing atmosphere in the evening whilst employing the use of the bar.
