A great stay.
We booked the room last-minute when another reservation fell through. Though we were only there for one night, everything from check-in, to the room itself, to breakfast at the cafe was smooth, with no complaints. Would happily return.

The best hotel we've ever stayed at. Classic old architecture but remodeled with all the modern amenities and maintained immaculately. My only complaint was the parking charge of $38 per day. Seems excessive!
