Downtown, Luxurious, Classic, Historic, Quiet, Not Budget, Not Boutique, Not Rustic
November 20 2007: The hotel is in an excellent, central and historic location. The details are perfect, the food excellent and the rooms, while not super comfortable, are luxurious and functional. I would recommend staying here for a night or two for the experience or if you are passing through but the cost (especially with a weak dollar) does not wholly reflect the value in my opinion
Date of stay: October 2007
