Nice room, clean, warm, spacious. It would have been nice for bottled water to be complimentary. The room was expensive and having to pay for water from the fridge was a little excessive.

An unusual and well appointed suite. Lots of stairs so be prepared to climb. Minor issues were speedily remedied. A bit pricey, but mostly worth the cost for location and quirky quaintness of building.

Was put in one of the dungeon rooms ("The Clink") which I had purposely NOT selected when making the booking. Nice basement room. Was quiet until the maids started work early the next morning. Their utility room door was immediately outside and was shockingly loud - kept thinking someone was opening the door to our room. Other than that I was happy with the hotel.

While thrilled with an early check in, my room was on the bottom floor, was cold until 2 portable heaters were brought by maintenance. The power went out on Sunday evening—9:00pm until I approached the front deck for assistance at 6:00am. Obviously no back up generators. No compensation for any inconvenience. I did have a lovely dinner at the restaurant. Overall staff was professional and pleasant.

For the price, this was a very average stay. The elevator being out of service for the most expensive rooms is unacceptable. Staff were not overly friendly and there was construction all over the property. The front enterance for pictures was really the only interesting part. Would not recommend this hotel.
