Other than the noise of parties and restaurants nearby (it was Halloween) our stay was excellent! Alex and the staff are to be commended for their service. We came back exhausted after a round of golf to find the elevator broken. Our 89 year old friend could not have climbed four floors. Alex bought us a drink and found a comfy spot to wait. That kind of service makes all the difference. Kudos!

Lovely renovated hotel in a great location. Although the address is on State Street, this is now pedestrianized. If arriving by car you need Gota Street to access hotel car park. There is no restaurant only a small bar, but plenty of eating options. The downside is a small single lift and dark (caramel?) paint on the room walls and ceiling which made the room look smaller than it was. Overall for a 3 star property I was impressed and would happily return.
