Fine to stay for the weekend
Pros:

Location and interior of the hotel were great, free coffee/tea in the morning, and nice staff.

Cons:

The room was small. Be careful when choosing a room on the 3rd floor - it’s directly under the roof. The good thing was that we were moved to another room on the 2nd floor, which was much bigger.
However, that room had a TV with very poor picture quality and no services like Netflix or similar platforms, only regular channels.
The AC stopped working in the evening. After one call, it was turned back on, but later it stopped working again and we couldn’t turn it back on, so the room was very stuffy throughout the night. When it was working, it blew directly onto the bed, which was unpleasant.
There were no outlets near the bedside tables.

Excellent place to stay. The staff was very welcoming and helpful during our stay.
Pros:

Excellent location and staff at the front counter. The building was outstanding (although my wife who has had ankle surgeries had difficulties with all stairs, and no elevator). The food and waitstaff at the restaurant were very good. Overall it was a great place to stay.

Cons:

Several members of the housekeeping staff were agitated about something and were very loud interacting with each other. they were yelling in a language I didn't recognize, waiving their arms all about. they left packages of towels all over the stairs and I had to kick them out of the way to get upstairs, They woke my wife up yelling outside our door. Despite this incident, our room was very clean when we arrived.
