The Notary is very nice hotel, though I would not stay again, nor would I recommend it.
Pros:

The hotel was very nice. The room seemed very clean. It was very quiet, that was nice. I liked the coffee shop and the employees at the coffee shop.

Cons:

The staff was not friendly or very helpful at all. The restaurant was not very good. (though I did like the coffee shop a lot)

Lovely hotel and location. Great staff. A premier property in a premier city.
Pros:

Cleanliness, Design, Function. Location. Staff at Front Desk, Staff cleaning rooms, and mostly staff at breakfast cafe.

Cons:

Pillows are too big and are uncomfortable for the neck. Staff were really slow at breakfast (one out of three) mornings.

Historic hotel in the city center
Pros:

This property is very conveniently located in the center of the city.

Cons:

The room was starting to look a little tired -- cracked toilet cover, tape holding a molding on, etc.
