Excellent location; walkable to everything imaginable. The staff at the Patio restaurant were great. The character of the hotel was quaint and aligned with its boutique nature. If you want to avoid the commercial nature of big chain hotels, this is a good one.

Staff was incredibly friendly and professional. We had a slight issue with our room on the first night, and the staff worked to address it the best they could within the constraints of a fully booked hotel for the night. Outside courtyard area is delightful to relax in. Breakfast was just ok, but free so nothing to complain about. Overall, we had a great stay and would come back again!

Courtyard … saved us in the pouring rain. Food was so-so but we had bumped into a wedding that put a strain on things. We were a family party of 10. Satisfied. A room temp issue was rectified by immediately changing our room and giving us a token credit. Appreciated but not requested.

What a beautiful and historic hotel. A luxury time machine. This hotel is very old and has some character because of this. So not everything works perfect but absolutely gorgeous and we will definitely be back.
