Well appointed, clean spacious room with a comfortable bed and great room darkening curtains. Unfortunately though the courtyard to the room was unkempt at best there were smears of dog Pooh on the pavers. The dog in the room next to me barked at 2am then again at 6am. These rooms are advertised as being pet friendly and soundproof unfortunately the soundproof is not accurate. I could hear my neighbours and movement in the hallway quite clearly. The room service was greatly appreciated as was the lovely styled room that was in keeping with the buildings history. With just a little more maintenance of the courtyard and honesty in advertising u would have given a 5 star review. I loved having an outdoor area for my dog to go out to and not have to be wondering around in the night outside. Please keep up the pet friendly rooms we will be back for sure.b

Great to have an old building being used to its fullest potential. Courtyard looks amazing . Room was clean , linen was fresh , room was comfortable and good size . While there is approx 15-20 free parking spots unsecured at the front it's $28 to use their rear secured car park . The $28 extra parking fee would be a reason for me to find a hotel without a parking fee. It was 3 adults and 3 rooms . All 3 rooms were good . The breakfast only concern was when you pick up a plate to use that's been through the dish washer and it still has food remnants on its and juice glasses were similar .
