Good staff, great breakfast, but the room had a heater that we could not turn off (in June), and despite asking the hotel for assistance, the heat remained on for 2 days straight as we sweated out our stay.

No sleep.

Lovely hotel lobby and bar but this hotel has only double beds in all rooms and we had room at front of hotel and got no sleep with the constant noise from late night revellers.

Beautiful old hotel with high ceilings, friendly staff and great food! Getting there and parking were problematic; no parking on-site, but they have an arrangement with a garage five doors down.only problem is there was no indication of this, and the hotel address in GPS had us circling the block and trying to drive down non-existant roads on their website map! An indication of the parking garage address would have saved us over an hour of driving around, calling, and getting confusing information.
