Great location! Overall the hotel was fine, but I did get stuck on a few minor details. The room didn’t have an iron or enough “closet” space for two people on a three night stay. The shower door was difficult to secure as water seeped out during showers and we had to use the mat more for puddle control. They staff was friendly and accommodating. And we also got a discount for parking in a nearby structure so that was also appreciated.

Property has nice features with exposed brick and old beams. Central location, but bring your earplugs if you want to sleep. Lovely bathroom but sparse looking bedroom with small paper cups and bathrobes that were too small, and only one size available. Colour scheme in the bedroom of black, white and dark grey curtains makes it all very sombre looking. Breakfast just about adequate with limited variety. Overall, the price we paid was far too much for what we got. Presume one is paying through rhe nose for the location.

I was very grateful that the hotel was able to store my luggage when the room was not ready on day 1 and at the end of my stay. However, as a paying guest/customer, I was very surprised that I was not allowed to use the toilet facilities when I returned to collect my luggage.
