Lovely heritage building with all modern facilities
Pros:

I love traditional, heritage-y buildings, so staying in a place that honours this was a treat. The place had all modern facilities and also a SPA (which sadly was closed for public holiday), however reception was more than happy to recommend other locations.

Cons:

I think the cleaning could be performed more diligently in those hard to reach nooks and crannies like behind bed. The redundant ceiling fan/grill needed some TLC too.

Pros:

The beds were big and comfortable

Cons:

Shaved hair not cleaned up from the bathroom, so much hair in the bed too that it made us question if the bedding had been changed. No lift, not accessible friendly so be prepared to haul your luggage up tight staircases. Pool is in the sister hotel, no pool there. Travelling through Australia, first bad review given. I wouldn't say it was a great hotel.
