Would do again but make sure you don’t get the room in the lower level under breakfeast area.
Pros:

Very nice. Well kept, Well situated in town.

Cons:

The room we got was right under the breakfast area so the staff were dragging tables and chairs making it extremely irritating for trying to get back to sleep past 5 am. It was not disclosed to us before hand so beware.

Très contents d’avoir passé une nuit dans un hôtel aussi pittoresque et à bon prix.
Pros:

Votre hôtel est très pittoresque; les boiseries et autres décorations sont très belles. Quelle bonne idée d’avoir converti un ancien palais de justice en hôtel. La chambre était aussi très confortable. Nous essaierons certainement de revenir.

Cons:

Tout était très bien mais nous avons trouvé qu’il faisait assez frais (ou même un peu froid) dans la salle de bain. Naturellement, il faisait très froid dehors lors de notre passage le 30 décembre dernier alors un peu plus de chaleur dans la salle de bain aurait donc été apprécié.

It was nice and quiet. Had to many things happening with family matters.
Pros:

Friendly staff. Accommodating when needed. Helpful. Nice smile

Cons:

They didn’t clean my room the 4 days ,until the checked out. And when came back they gave me a different room, and they cleaned it that I stayed for 2 days. My floor was messy. My garbage wasn’t clean. That my only complaint. Good thing my partner wasn’t here, she would’ve turned Scorpio.

Pros:

The property is fantastic but I don’t recommend the basement rooms as you have to keep your window curtains closed all the time or run the risk of having people looking in your windows ! My original room was below the breakfast room so was rather noisy in the am !! They moved me to the second floor on my last night because of a function in there ballroom which was of there own doing and a nice gesture as it would be less noisy !! Overall was impressed as it was beautifully redone from its original courthouse days
