Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Furthest room on third level of building with no elevator. Room itself nice but only a fan to cool it. Radiators had been blasting heat and no turnoff on towel heater. Room was located above the corner of two busy, noisy streets, making it hard to sleep or even watch television. Thankfully there was a fan in the closet to make the room bearable.

The entry courtyard is adorable as well as the intricate carvings and woodwork in the front lounge area. The hotel is clearly very old and has been added to through the years...making the layout quite maze-like. It was an interesting place to stay in Salisbury, and I think you have to check it out at least once. But, now that I have, I would probably look somewhere else if I'm through Salisbury again. Breakfast was quite expensive for just ok food.
