Stunning Architecture, Exceptional Staff

This hotel is beautiful and lovingly preserved. Every staff member we met was friendly and went out of their way to answer questions, especially about the building’s history. Breakfast at the Second Draft was perfect (get the iced collagen coffee!) and we really enjoyed the spa. The historical walls are literally a foot thick, so you can’t hear a peep from adjacent guests’ rooms. There’s even an art gallery on the third floor. Can’t wait to visit again!

The hotel is beautiful in a large estate-like property so it is very grand. The area is quiet but close to the town. You can walk to town (about 12 minute walk). The room was small (we got the classic room) but comfortable since we didn't spent much time there as we were in town most of the day. I would stay there again. It has great history.

The room was awful. Located in the basement with windows overlooking an alley. Cement floors with no covering. Tiny space. Ten inches on one side of the bed to the wall. No chair because there was no room. Ill fitting sheets that were not even tucked under the mattress. Restaurant not open for lunch or dinner and nothing within walking distance. I would never book this hotel again
