The room had an internal window and was rather small. Two single beds were what we asked for. The room wes very dated, but the hotel
Is very old and alot of the original features are still there. They had put a new bathroom in. We ate in the dining room and had a very tasty meal.

Hotel had a lot of historical character and was in a great downtown location. We rate the hotel in part because of historical character.

Some reviews made me apprehensive. Our stay was great. Room spotless and quiet, en suite more than adequate, water pressure fabulous!!! Dinner menu more than adequate - apparently new cook/chef? Continental breakfast fine. All staff delightful. Would definitely stay again. Excellent value for the very reasonable tariff.
