Pros: This is a gem of a hotel! One of the best hotels I ve ever stayed! It s a historic hotel with a lot of charm. The staircase is amazing! The rooms are very clean and comfortable. I can t understand why it gets only 7.6 from other travelers. I give it a 10! It s a real pleasure to sit in the lobby enjoying tea or coffee.
