Location is great if you're here for shopping or an event in downtown, the hotel has kids camp from 5-9 pm which was unique. Breakfast was great. Only issue was that the rooms in the 1st for are below ground for (basement), and was noisy in the morning!

"The hotel is beautiful. The rooms were spacious and clean and designed well. There is an elegant charm to the hotel. Breakfast was very nice and the check in and out process was smooth. Great location, walkable to the pubs but far away enough to be peaceful and quiet."
