Categories

Cleanliness
7.8
Mixed reports: several guests described rooms as clean, but at least one review explicitly noted poor cleanliness. Overall slightly below the target due to isolated negative cleanliness mentions.
Service
8.6
Generally positive — multiple mentions of friendly and helpful staff, exceptional room service and assistance with issues (e.g., jump-start). Some negative incidents (rude staff, early housekeeping knock) lower but do not negate overall positive sentiment.
Location
9.4
Consistently praised across reviews: excellent central location, walkable to attractions, close to streetcar and event centers, good views from rooms. Strongest positive theme in the dataset.
Room Quality
7.6
Mixed: many guests liked renovated rooms and character, but repeated issues reported (broken A/C/thermostat, noisy street-facing rooms, some rooms without windows, occasional plumbing/toilet problems).
Amenities
8
Good amenities noted (bar with late-night drinks, on-site services), but drawbacks include small elevators/long waits, parking not included, and occasional inconsistent front-desk communications.
Value for Money
7.4
Several guests complained about extra charges (parking, breakfast, deposit) and higher prices during events; some felt the price did not match expectations despite the hotel's character and location.
Food and Beverage
7.2
Food feedback is mixed-to-negative: multiple comments that breakfast was mediocre, bland or not worth the price, though some guests reported adequate breakfast options and a good bar experience.
Overall Experience
9.6
Despite some service/room/fnb issues, the dominant positives (excellent location, friendly staff, renovated character and views) led to many guests having a very good overall stay; this aggregated sentiment is reflected in a higher overall score.

Pros:

Very nice old hotel, totally renovated, but keeping a distinctive character of the past. For a friendly staff. Comfortable room.

Cons:

The breakfast was very mediocre. Service was fine, but the food was very bland and not a wide variety. That definitely needs improvement.

Pros:

Great location and views from the room

Cons:

The AC/thermostat was broken so we had to open the windows while we slept because it was so uncomfortable. And housekeeping tried entering our room at 8AM even though we had the do not disturb on the door.
