Enjoyed the decor and fell of the lobby, bar and dining room. Wood and brass added to the period look of the hotel. Beds very comfortable - had a good nights rest with no aches in the morning - always appreciated at age 74. LoL

The hotel is clean and quiet, beds are comfortable, we got our room upgraded which is a surprise. The elevator door has some issues to close, so we use stairs instead. Not suggest for families with kids, since no yard space to stay or play, and lobby has old displays/decorations everywhere.

Did not like having no info in the room,like options for eating or how to use the TV. I am hard of hearing and any strong accent makes it hard for me to understand what is being said to me. Check-in was therefore difficult. The hotel itself was like a walk in history. Very unique environment. Felt very safe.

Fire alarm went off around midnight. There was NO staff at all to direct the hotel guest. Hotel guest had to call the local fire department. Hotel guest were standing outside for at least 20 minutes without any information. In the end the fire fighter told me it was a faulty board that triggered the alarm. This Hotel was run down and outdated. The elevator door had a hard time closing. I had to hold the close button to get it to fully close. I would NOT recommend this Hotel.

A great hotel in a good location. The staff was very friendly and helpful and they had a great lounge to relax in after a busy day. We especially loved the eclectic style the place was decorated in. We will definitely be back.

Caught the late ferry and needed somewhere to stay last minute and saw that there were deluxe rooms available so i booked one. When I arrived I was behind a line of three groups of guests all checking in. No big deal. When I get to the front of the line the front desk host was a little unfriendly and as I was paying my 200$ deposit he looked down his glasses at me and told me if i smoke in the room i will be charged 200$ which he didnt feel the need to say to any of the other paying guests in front of me. I told him thats fine I dont smoke and proceeded to my room. The main feature that helped me decide on this hotel was the soaker tub because after a long day of travelling and paying 300$ for an 10 hour stay in a hotel, I wanted to relax and enjoy that one amenity. When I got to my room I went straight to the bathroom to start the tub and the bathroom door only opened halfway because it got caught on the tile floor. The tile floor itself was very uneven and cracking, showing signs of either poor finishing or issues in the subfloor below. Once i filled the tub to my utmost dissapointment the jets did not work in the tub. I also requested a late check out when I booked and was informed my check out time was to be 11. As someone who has worked hospitality for years, I was dissapointed in the value I got at this hotel. Maybe other people really like this place but for 300$ a night, I think ill go stay somewhere by the waterfront next time instead. Hopefully this review helps som
