The hotel is in a convenient location with great amenities, but there are some room issues that need attention. The service was exceptional, especially from the extraordinary Elizabeth, going beyond expectations. Dining could be improved for better value. The facilities are decent, and the historical charm adds to the experience.

After a couple of days staying at the hotel, I found the rooms to be clean and the bed quite comfortable. However, there was some dust on the window sills, and I missed having a dust bin. On the positive side, the service was exceptional, particularly after hours, and the staff went out of their way to make my stay extraordinary. The location was nice, being close to the city center, although it was a bit noisy in the early morning near the café. The dining experience was average, and I didn't find the breakfast to be worth the price. Overall, the hotel was in a great place but had some minor drawbacks that could be improved.

The hotel is ideally located, boasting beautiful furniture and comfortable couches. The rooms around the courtyard were a bit quick to tidy up for a one-night stay, but opposite the restaurant. The service went above and beyond, keeping our room spotless and ensuring a historic dining experience with excellent food and staff. The pool area allowed for eating, drinking, and smoking, adding to the gorgeous ambiance. A great spot between deluxe and standard rooms.
