“The Robertson Hotel clearly carries echoes of grander times, with its period detailing; however, some areas require significant attention. While the spacious rooms offer comfort, bathrooms may feel dated, and some amenities are minimally provided; I believe its historic charm holds potential if ongoing maintenance aligns with its heritage.”
