Although I was not initially greeted by the person at the front desk when I entered the hotel (I was expecting a bit more hospitality than just standing there waiting to be acknowledged; the other staff members were far more pleasant), I was provided with the room I requested and given instructions regarding parking once I asked. It was older (there was a wall phone in the bathroom), but it was clean and quiet. The hotel is being renovated, so keep this in mind. It was a very short stay, so I don’t have much to add aside from the restaurant not being open. There are plenty in the area, so if you stay here, try those out.

There was an horrible stitch when we walked in. The person at the desk seem to be immune to it. It spelled like mold or damp carpet. The restaurant was barely operational. We went down Saturday early afternoon and we were told we couldn’t order food because they had a large party they weren’t expecting. We went down at 11:35 PM on Sunday and we were told we couldn’t order food because the kitchen was closed. Only to find that 15 minutes later, they were serving food to another party. I really love this hotel the first time but this time I was mostly disappointed.

Great location and we like the room with a terrace, however it is a bit shabby. They are starting a renovation but it hadn’t reached the 4th floor yet. There is a restaurant on site now, which is a plus although the restaurant service is incredibly slow.

Better than chains

What a lovely downtown small hotel! Just what we were looking for. The balcony on the street was great- wonderful place to sit outside and watch the city go by. Also the restaurant was excellent- we had the best meal there. That is a little jewel connected to the hotel. Take advantage of it if you stay there.
