Staff was helpful in every way. Superior management and staff attitude really enjoyed getting to know the people who worked there who took a personal interest in me wonderful windows however we’re very hard to open and the bed was much too soft for me and the chairs were uncomfortable for me, hard to communicate with some of the housekeeping staff because of language barriers, but overall it was a bit very memorable and wonderful experience

The staff overall was very well trained kind and thoughtful. Although a couple of the Valets have a I cant be bothered with you attitude. Downright Surly. The hotel building itself, is very very long in the tooth, and in desperate need of a makeover. There comes a point where Historic, simply means old and tired. The elevator, though from a bygone era, is painfully slow, and terribly banged up hurting its character. The restaurant does NOT AT ALL look like the pics online. Food is mediocre at best. Though the Wine List is above par, with half price Wednesdays allowing for big splurges. The sink in my bathroom filled to the brim during each morning shave. But worst of all, the carpet in my room was so old and dirty, that even if you had showered earlier, you had to clean the bottom of your feet, before putting your shoe on. Black soles. Ugh. Whatever you do, do not stay in a "Village Side room", as they quaintly put it. It simply means: Over the street. Super noisy especially on Sunday evening. Quite sure I will not be staying again.
