The staff was super friendly and helpful. My wife really liked the room - it was big and clean. The only thing that was a bit of a bummer was that the sewer of our bathtub was completely clogged throughout our stay.

The Hotel is an old building, but what was disappointing was the renovation going on during our stay. Also the reason I booked this Hotel was for me and my wife to have a nice spa date in there hotel. Only to be told they are only open on weekends. They should be more honest on all aspects and let the customer know before they book. But I understand they would lose bussiness if they do.
