The heat radiator was banging loudly several times each two hours which woke us up during the night. Check out was at 11 am but the maid knocked on the door at 8:15 am waking us up early.

This is a very old hotel and it seems not s whole lot has been done in many years to improve it. We only had housekeeping on one of 3 days; beds were uncomfortable and there was no comforter. We had to turn the heat up to be somewhat warm which made the air in the room dry. This hotel is in dire need of renovation

Nice hotel, helpful staff. Only downside is the steps you have to take to get to your room. Difficult with luggage for older people.
