Great room and friendly, helpful staff!
We had an amazing stay. Stopped her overnight on the way to another destination after a long flight. The room was fantastic and the staff were so friendly and accommodating. We would have stayed longer if we had known what a great experience this would be.

Averagely Good
Comfy bed
Well appointed bathroom
Not much character to the hotel
Check in felt very perfunctory
For a 5 star property- they need to be doing a lot more to improve guest experience

Open clothing rack ruins the luxury
Interesting hotel with history. The most comfortable bed with luxurious bedding. Smart toilet with heated seat and all the bells and whistles. There are 5-star elements in the decor but the upscale feeling is totally ruined by the open clothing rack. It is the focal feature in the room. And no matter how good are your outfits, they don't enhance the room hanging in full view.
