historic charm and good location

nice decorationaccommodating staffthin window
Staff was top notch, and they take care of you. the hotel was decorated nicely, and the restaurant pub is very relaxing. food was delicious, and staff was very accommodating with late checkout. they were helpful with local shopping ideas. I got a cheese tray when i arrived, a nice touch.
i arrived exhausted from a day traveling and was given a room directly above the railway line. trains run at least hourly all through the night, so the smashing of the train crossing will shake the walls. the windows are thin, with poor noise cancellation.

The hotel stood near a pedestrian street filled with restaurants. chinatown and the riverside park were steps away. All amenities were accessible by foot. Everything was very close.
