Loved the historic ambiance (but felt the modern artworks hanging at top of stairwell incongruous with the feel of the hotel.) Charming hotel but slightly tired. Friendly staff. Convenient location.

Convenient location next to the train station. Room was tidy. Double bed is awfully small for two people, but we made do. Really our only complaint is that the room was hot and hard to get comfortable.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! It is an older hotel- so as expected some things were quite well-worn. Note- VERY limited onsite parking. We parked in the secure lot they directed us to that was a 5-10 minute walk away.

This hotel was once very elegant. Royalty stayed here. The physical property retains some of the elegance, but the staff and service does not. "Inexperienced" comes to my mind.
