"Loved our stay here! Elegant old hotel with updated everything...but still retains a classic charm. Room was comfortable and clean with all new fittings and fixtures. (I was kind of hoping for a more antique/vintage/original feel, but once we were settled in, I appreciated the modernity of all the appointments). Cocktail from the bar was fantastic! The seating areas off the lobby were comfortable and pleasant to use. Dinner at the restaurant was elegant. Breakfast at the cafe was delicious (coffee and savory pastry). Staff were all friendly, helpful and accommodating. Highly recommend."

"There were a few things that I wish were provided such as a a safe box in the room. The promise was clean, the service was very friendly and accommodating, love the fact that you have a restaurant that stays open till 10 and you can get a cocktail. With that said, they need help learning how to mix drinks, and we had breakfast for four, and our breakfast is came at separate time so I believe this is due to lack of help. The rooms were clean, we love that they were connecting, these are just a few things that we feel could be improved. Our overall stay was wonderful. "
