Catfished and Overpriced
Don’t get cat fished by the pictures. This place is old which is cool but it is way over priced and beat. We stayed at some high end very old hotels in Ireland and this one sucked. Don’t pay over $150 for this place. FYI The parking is about an 8 minute walk away. Around 3 to 4 NYC blocks away.

Decent hotel located in the middle of a busy pub and shopping area. A/C in the rooms was terrible, warm all night. Parking is a joke, need two tickets, which the front desk does not tell you and the parking garage is located a 15 minute walk away. Luckily the garage security guard was very nice ans said the hotel does this all the time, he let us out without the 2nd ticket.

Good location but they don’t offer valet and you have to drive over to a fairly close car park with a special code. Middle of town makes it very difficult to unload or park to check in/out. If you like a party town atmosphere that’s the perfect spot, if you want quiet and calm I’d look somewhere else in town away from downtown.
