The Victorian features of the hotel were beautiful and have been mixed in nicely with modern touches. The Executive suite had ample room and was comfortable for our two night stay. The staff was friendly and helpful. It was nice to have the option of breakfast at the hotel, but there are tons of restaurants around for other meals. It was a great trip!

We loved the historical atmosphere and all the cool places to just relax --chairs, sofas and tables everywhere! We did NOT love the lights from the street shining in our windows with no way to block it! The room was very light all night long. We would love to stay here again but not if there aren't blocking curtains or shades. Also--a short note on the operation of the heating remote would be useful!

The front desk staff was not friendly and disengaged. The breakfast on Saturday was inedible. Sunday was better. Location was good. And it was a lovely, old hotel. Not really worth the cost, in my opinion.
