The lack of fresh air in the rooms at night was the only small issue I had. Not really a complaint as probably not a lot can be done regarding this as the structure of the building restricts anything. Intriguing decor and a pleasure to stay there.

Good location. Rooms were a little small but cozy. Staff was wonderful. Breakfast was only continental and kind of meh. Had coffee and tea in room and a refrigerator. Hallway outside our door was noisy in the morning.

Boutique hotel with friendly service.
Boutique hotel with friendly service. Be aware that even using the elevator we needed to carry our luggage down and up a few stairs. We had a suite room with wonderful sitting area. Room across the hall was smaller. Rooms are themed with eclectic decor. There is a beautiful looking bar in the lobby but I'm not sure there is ever cocktail service. Nice self serve 'cold' breakfast is included.
