The staff were very friendly and took great care of us. It's a 2 mile walk to the museums, but so much to see and do along the way that it didn't feel near that long. Also, considering the age of the building the rooms were in excellent condition, showing no signs of wear and tear that you'd see at most hotels half its age. Very pleased and will definitely recommend and return.
