The location and building are outstanding, especially as everything was within walking distance. Parking was easy too. It was a shame that the little things were missing...milk for the tea and coffee, clean cups and spoons, enough toilet paper for the bathroom and water pressure for the shower.

Just enough for an overnight stay
Wasn't expecting too much since it was kind of cheap but the mattress was really bad, men's bathroom was bit dirty and afterall, $125 felt too much for what we got. I wouldn't expend too long in this place, but for an overnight stay, it'd do it

It was a beautiful building and the bed was comfortable if you want an ensuite this isn’t the place for you but the shower and toilets are clean and not far from rooms! Staff were lovely and very helpful would stay again.

I liked the old style ambiance of the place. Unfortunately our room had a double bed and I’m 6’4”. Shared bathroom was adequate but could obviously do with a renovation. Low doors could have been an issue if you didn’t look carefully. I would stay there again.
