It’s a great old place, loads of room and charm. We stayed Saturday night and the whole neighbourhood was rocking, great if you want to be in the centre of the action, if not you should ask for a room round the back, it may be quieter

Good location and lovely bones but showing lots of signs that it's not being well maintained. Poor parking facilities, plumbing not working well, lift weight limit reduced and it bangs and shudders during operation, broken mirrors, worn carpets etc. It's still nice but it needs work.
