The hotel, in addition to being conveniently located, provided a terrific night's sleep on a superb mattress, copious pillows and sound-proof windows. There are numerous interesting restaurants and historic sights within a 5-10 minute walk of the property.

Brilliant Staff

Debbie and Gwen from hospitality were brilliant in courtesy and care of our room during our stay. The front desk staff were all informed, efficient and kind. The atrium staff handling the breakfast was so kind and on the spot for keeping tables clean and prepared for all the hotel guests. So, overall, the people at this hotel really make the experience a step above the others we stayed at in the area of Old City. Some of the building features are old, being a historic hotel, but no seeming fan presence in the room bathroom was easy to overlook with everything else being seemless.

Cons: Took an hour and 30 minutes before I was able to get keys to my room, the parking pass they gave me did not work. Pros: the room was clean and comfy, the breakfast had good options, the area around it is very nice and convenient. Would stay there again.
