- Great location and lovely historic building!
Cons -
- The property was clearly at capacity making early check in or check out impossible. The price point seemed high for the area I’m sure dictated by demand.
- room too small: not very clean: sound proof BAD: elevator broken
- It wasn't possible to change which shower head delivered water because a part was missing. It took more than one attempt to get this fixed, but it was fixed before we departed
