A Truly Really good Experience!

The staff was AMAZING!!! They were friendly, committed, and genuinely happy to assist. The hotel exudes ambience and history. The room was super clean. It looked brand new. The decor was fine, and the bathroom had an abundance of towels.
The hotel bar felt claustrophobic. It is very small and lacks windows. It reminded me of a cave.
