Cynthia, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The hotel itself is beautiful and the staff was friendly. The room was very comfortable. It was about a 20 minute walk through mostly empty streets to the riverfront. Water kettle and tea bags were available upon request. There was obvious mold in the shower and the wall between rooms was not soundproof as advertised.

Carolyn, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

This is a beautiful old hotel. The room was spacious and comfortable. The staff at the front door and front desk were very good. The hotel is pricy. The only issue I had was that my water and coffee were not replenished. I called down and they said they would send some right up but it took a long time so I was gone when it arrived - no coffee just lots of milk
