I admire the hotel, carefully renovated. It highlights its Victorian origins. The staff are so professional, go out of their way. They were accommodating to my son. The location feels fantastic. I liked the brand new coffee machine in the bar.

I did notice there weren't enough plugs near the bed for my phone. It felt a little inconvenient.
