Lovely historical hotel

It’s a lovely hotel with an abundance of history. Room was clean and spacious , ceiling was a little low but when you know the history of the building it’s understandable. Our only complaint is the continental breakfast. Options were extremely limited for people with dietary restrictions which I voiced to hotel staff. Otherwise we enjoyed our stay and would stay there again

You cannot beat this hotel for its location in downtown right on the harbour and so close to the majority of food, pubs, shopping, etc. The restoration of this grand old property to bring it up to a relatively modern facility but keeping the century old post and beam construction is very impressive. The onsite parking is a very useful feature as well. However, there were some quite disappointing aspects to our stay. We were in a room very close to the elevator in one of the wings. The elevator was excessively loud, to the point where it is hard to believe it is operating properly. It was wasn't just making noise when operating, it made big random clunks while just sitting idle. The staff was not overly attentive to the needs of operating the complimentary breakfast area. The fridge in the lounge was not operating correctly and staff did nothing about that when notified of it. It probably was at 12C, far too warm to be storing dairy products. Overall, staff just not paying attention to the little details required in such an operation. The parking area was also not very clean, lots of bits of garbage, cigarette butts, etc.

There is an open beam ceiling and exposed stone wall in the room. Lots of space as well. The hotel is well located, close to restaurants, bars, and attractions. Our only issue was the breakfast; we were there for four nights and the continenetsl breakfast was the same each day which got s bit tiresome. Otherwise it was a great place to stay!

On arrival I wouldn't say the receptionist was very welcoming and didn't make me feel good to be there. The room was spacious and comfortable. Breakfast was a let down with no plates for the croissants or jam to go with them. Overall, felt it was a poor selection for the so called standard of hotel
