Good stopover, centrally located in town.

Beautiful old building. Room served its purpose for an over night stay with a shared bathroom..The hotel was centrally located in the town. We ate a lovely meal in in the restaurant in the evening and it was reasonably priced. Staff were very attentive. We had a continental breakfast in with the price.

The room was nice and compact. Beautiful historic hotel. The only fault was their laundry facilities. I wasted over $10 as the dryer would only go on for 5 minutes at a time.

We stayed there just for a night but felt like we should have stayed for 3. Nice hotel inside and out- and very friendly and accommodating staff. With a touch of history, and with a feel of elegance, this hotel is a true holiday palace. Superb.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort

Nice but could be better

The bathroom, although outside the room, was new and recently renovated, very clean and very comfortable. However, the room was old, with a very soft bed, bad pillows and a cramped room with little furniture. The window kept banging because of the wind, which woke us up several times during the night. Breakfast was free but it was very poor, basically it only had bread, milk and coffee.

The property has been poorly kept and needs so much work to bring it up to any reasonable standard. We were booked and paid for 4 nights but checked out after 2 nights. That was under sufferance.

Liked the building. Didn't like having no curtain (hard to have that with no curtain rod) on window. Stayed two nights and complained both times to different staff to no avail. Did like the breakfast. Lamb meal at $25 ran out so had to have an average (my medium rare steak turned out medium) steak meal at $44 which is expensive.
