Old hotel, trying hard to keep up.
This is a very old hotel which was built in the early 1900's and therefore has alot of benefits and drawbacks that come with that. Our biggest gage of whether a hotel room is comfortable centres around wear and tear, cleanliness, comfortablility and service. This hotel met our expectations in all of those categories. We knew it was an old hotel going in, the rate charged was lower than most 3 1/2 star rated hotels in the district at Christmas time. The lobby was clean and beautifully appointed with chandeliers etc and reminded us of a Victorian Theatre entrance. The rooms were not large but ours had a sitting room with a trundel bed and desk, a bed room with a queen bed pushed up against the wall and a bathroom. All rooms had newer furniture that did not show any wear. There were 2 flat screen TVs. All were clean, linen and towels were new and of higher quality. Drawbacks were plumbing, water and heating pipes made noises when in use, room temperature was only controlled by putting on the window hung portable air conditioner in both rooms, otherwise rooms were hot and stuffy. Room had all amentities including hairdryer, iron and board, Maid service was very good and made sure we were comfortable with our room. Front desk service was very accomodating and morning coffee and muffins was a nice addition.
