Hotel is in a great area.
The hotel itself is good, comfy bed and good bathroom.
It is a bit tired in general though.

Nice hotel
The room was very nice. The shower was very good. I liked the old feel of the hotel. The breakfast was ok. Would have liked a coffee machine and not just an urn full of coffee.

Great bed, noisy bathroom
The bed and decor of the room were great and comfortable. The bathroom plumbing made a lot of noises and there was a small leak coming from the back enclosed area of the old toilet with chain. It had the charm of an old building but bathroom and carpet need updating.

Great location, little else too recommend
All three stars were for the location. The sheets didn't fit the bed so we ended up sleeping on bare mattress, it was understaffed, there was no option to reuse towels. The floor slants noticeably.
