Beautiful building, no frills hotel. If you want boring and moden then do not stay here. This hotel is quirky and historic and completely no frills but it is great value and In a central location. Only down side is there is no parking and I couldn't find the hair dryer. Other then that I love the fact that it is a little bit of an odd ball and all the staff were amazing.
