The hotel offers spacious, clean rooms and a historic charm that many guests appreciate. The staff was responsive and helpful during my stay, but there were some issues with the amenities that need addressing. While the location was fantastic for exploring, the bathrooms leave much to be desired in terms of comfort and design. Overall, it's a unique experience but not without its drawbacks.
