The staff were friendly and helpful. the historic design of the hotel was beautiful. i found the marketplace convenient. It even had kosher yogurt available for breakfast.
The queen room i stayed in felt small and dark. it faced another building, so natural light was limited. housekeeping did not meet expectations. On one morning, the beds were left unmade.
