Historic Charm and Modern Comfort

historic charmquality foodcomfortable bedunpleasant smell
The hotel has a lobby bar with cute staff. The hotel offers quality food and cocktails. The room was cozy and included a large comfortable bed. I also found the shower to be great.
The first room smelled like an ashtray upon arrival. I requested another room because of the unpleasant smell. I was then moved to a super noisy room on the first floor. Resting and sleeping was difficult there due to the sounds of the street.
Location
9/10
The location is excellent for moving around the city. Many attractions are within walking distance and public transportation is easily accessible. Taxis are readily available just outside the hotel entrance.
