Beautiful old Grand Hotel with all the modern conveniences.
Pros:

This is a beautiful old hotel and the attention to details makes this amazing. It’s a real step back in time with the billiard room, dining rooms and smoking room while having all the modern features we now look for. Highly recommend! Even the squeaky floorboards added to its charm

Cons:

Only stayed one night
