Héritage hotel with fun old lift!
Beautiful old building with an old style lift! I think the hotel was lovely.
It could do with a few updates like thread bare carpet on stairs and more accessible plugs bedside.
Note that there are attached pokies which kind of change the heritage vibe.
Staff are nice and friendly.

Historic atmosphere
Was great to soak up the historic atmosphere in bars, entry and restaurants. Surprised by the pokies but guess you've got to pay the bills. Lovely room but the farthest from lift along many winding corridors. It was very quiet on the Friday night we stayed, comfy beds but chilly bathroom with horrible showerhead. Book the parking before you stay otherwise have to pay on street.
