Was reasonable value for money and enjoyed finally getting to stay there.
Pros:

Its downtown location close to Octagon and restaurants.

Cons:

Property was dated and tired. Would like it to be restored to its former glory as it has good bones.

Pros:

For our purposes, the liocation was excellent allowing us to walk to 4 separate venues that we needed to attend. Staff were friendly and helpful. The hotel has lovely old world charm.

Cons:

Nothing really. Would have been nice if the restaurant was open on weekenfs, but lots of eateries nearby.
