Robert

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
tiny room compared to pics; poor ventilation; window onto air vent; bed loudly creaked with every move. Poor service; hours before a second towel arrived (2 person booking), no serious attempt to remedy issues, unable to deal with cancellation. Shower barely functioning. Able to hear other guests using their bathroom through window and walls. Generally, hotel pictures do not match reality.

One of the couples we were with had a fall (the husband) on the stairs and the staff were wonderful - caring, attentive and made several followup calls to make sure he was okay and actually came up to the room to check on him! So kudos to the young fellow on the desk and the concierge - they went above and beyond!

We love this historic hotel. But keeping the antiquity means it isn’t soundproof and can be noisy. I resented this time that they only give you 2 small bottles of water. Even though we stayed 5 nights - no more water was given.
