Pros:

The positives were the staff who were all very pleasant and helped make our stay enjoyable. The Hotel itself is very well situated and definitely has that oldy workday charm.

Cons:

This was a family reunion for my Dad's 80th birthday and unfortunately we picked a night when there was a live singer and music literally blaring until 2355...our rooms were literally above the venue and being an old building you could feel the bass as well as hear it. 'who let the dogs out' at 2330 is not a good vibe at what we thought was going to be a quiet location. My advice is check before you book for any entertainment nights
