Milind

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
The room was stuffy, with old furniture. It needs to be deep-cleaned and aerated on a regular basis. The pull out sofa is old & down right uncomfortable. The breakfast was OK (what else can you expect from a continental breakfast?) with lots of bad carbs. Good location, but one bathroom for 4 people with no other bathroom anywhere on site (such as the lobby) was unacceptable. I would not stay here again for half the price.

Lovely historical hotel. Beautifully restored with many original details but also nicely appointed with modern conveniences. For example, large newly renovated bathroom and great wifi. It is rare to find a historical hotel that retains its vintage charm with such well done modern updates. Additionally, all staff we had contact with were incredibly welcoming, professional & a pleasure to chat with.
