Truly rhe worst stay ever

The hotel is terribly outdated something reminiscent of Rosemary's Baby. It took three rooms to get it "OK". First room featured dishes in the sink, a deposit in the toilet and no towel service. The second room had garbage in the kitchen, no towel service and an unmade bed. Goldilocks? The final room was habitable. I will nerver, ever stay at this hotel again as long as I live.

I love the esthetics of the building and the unique design which is very true to the historic era. I also love the fact that you don’t have to leave the premises as there is a restaurant/bar, spa, laundry room, everything you need right there.

One Night Stay

We stayed in a standard king room. Bed was comfortable and room was quiet. I loved the old architectural features but it may not be for everyone. We ate at their restaurant next door and breakfast was delicious. Will definitely be back.
