Pros:

El desayuno

Cons:

Solo como algo mejorable, por estar un poco anticuado... la habitacion y la ropa de cama. Pero en general es un hotel colonial, bonito.

Pros:

We loved the classic French architecture of the hotel. The staff was friendly. They let us keep our luggage at the hotel after checking out when we explored the city. Walking distance to the Museum of natural History, Chinatown and the artesian market.

Pros:

El desayuno tiene varias opciones en su bufet, la ubicación está en un lugar central y la habitación tipo Suite Master es bastante cómoda.

Cons:

Se escucha bastante el ruido de otras habitaciones, por ejemplo, conversaciones de personas y movimientos de objetos como sillas y otros. Por otro lado, entraba bastante luz de otros espacios de la casa en la Suite Master que se me asignó.

Pretty good place
Pros:

The interior is adorable and the staff is very helpful. It's not 5 stars and I would have like to have shampoo but then the price is really good. Neighborhood may not look like much, but it turned out to be a pretty good location. Breakfast was better than in other places we stayed.

Cons:

The shower was a bit iffy, we had plenty of hot water but getting to the right temperature was not straightforward.

Bonito hotel en edificio antiguo del centro
Pros:

Ubicación óptima, a 5 minutos andando del centro. El hotel por dentro es precioso, una casa antigua decorada con mucho gusto. La habitación era muy bonita y la cama cómoda. El desayuno está muy bien.

Cons:

A partir de las 5 AM circula un tren junto al hotel y suena el pitido cada pocos minutos... por eso en Recepción tienen un cuenco con tapones para los oídos. Si el edificio tuviera ventanas modernas tipo Climalit sonaría menos, pero las ventanas son de madera y cierran regular.

A beautiful hotel for a two nights stay
Pros:

The breakfast was in a beautiful quiet room. There were lots of choices and tasted great. The room has big windows and is bright which was very helpful for my kids to look around when it rains. The antique hotel feels very beautiful inside and out.

Cons:

The door of the room could not stay closed if you didn't lock it. There was only one chair in the room. When my husband wanted to sit at the chairs outside the room at early morning, he did not lock the room so the door opened half way.

Dramatisch verblijf in een onrustige deel van de stad met veel extra kosten. Geen aanrader.
Pros:

Locatie heeft weinig bijzonders.

Cons:

Het is een simpele locatie aan het spoor. De hele nacht hoor je toeterende treinen voorbij komen. Slapen is moeilijk. Parkeren is niet mogelijk en kost je $14,00 extra per nacht. Het ontbijt is matig. Veel vliegen zitten op het eten. Helaas heeft 1 van de kinderen een ongelukje in bed gehad en werd er gelijk een vergoeding gevraagd die vele malen hoger is dan de prijs van twee handdoeken en een dekbedovertrek. Een tweede bezoek konden we gelukkig nog annuleren. Kortom; niet boeken.
