This hotel offers a unique historical charm and friendly staff, making it a wonderful stay overall. However, we faced some discomfort due to the lack of air conditioning in our room, especially during a hot day. The excellent dining options and great atmosphere made up for it, but it's probably better suited for cooler seasons.
