The location is excellent. It is near all historic sites. The room was very clean and updated. Breakfast was available upstairs every day. It included plentiful and excellent choices. The waitstaff were friendly and accommodating.
I thought the staff could have been more attentive for what I paid. (I have experienced better elsewhere). It felt frustrating to have a private event at the rooftop bar every night.
