Very nice rooms, kind staff, and great location, within walking distance of downtown and Old Town. On one day the shower stopped fully functioning with almost no pressure. The food was also mediocre but very expensive. All in all, a nice hotel to stay, but very pricy for the quality of services.

Beautiful location. Great view from my room. Accomodated to my room requests. The only downside was parking (could get a little tough at times). And had someone sitting outside twice either asking for money or asking me to buy something off of them. I get times are tough, and I feel for those being hit the hardest, but it just wasn't something I was expecting to happen when I was checking in and out of the hotel.

I liked how fast i got to my room.
Disliked how my $74 bottle of wine and $34 cheese platter was presented when i got to the room.
A bucket of ice with the bottle in it would had been nice and not having the glasses and bottle in the fridge. Didn't even know the glasses were in the fridge until we were done the wine.
Pastic covering for the cheese and fruit plate.
Just made it look cheap which it wasn't

I had a great view from my room on the top and dealt with William (aka Daniel..he'll get the joke) who's great at the front desk.
Lots of things within walking distance, like The Black Knight (pub).

There is limited dining near the hotel, there is an onsite restaurant, which is quite expensive, and an on site lounge which is a little on the expensive site for a lounge but pulled lamb quesadillas were really good, all other dining options require you drive or take a taxi. Lastly no TEA! in the room just coffees. YUCK!
