Great stay and breakfast
Beautiful hotel and a great location. Close to everything. We really appreciated the breakfast and outdoor seating areas. Neighbours are questionable. Ask for a room facing the driveway.

We called about an early arrival at 10am and were told we would be prioritized and it wouldn’t be long. At 11am we were told it would be by 2pm and then at 2pm we were told hopefully by 4. We got our room at 4.

Right location, so-so service!
Other than the location this place has little to offer! General areas are somewhat dated and worn out with time. Lots of stairs and no elevator. Breakfast was good but the lack of utensils and space to move around in the dining room made you feel uncomfortable.

Very clean inside and staff are very good. The view was not great, as a run down building with graffiti and a lot of trash outside.
