“This spot has historic charm, though some might find the inconsistent service and basement rooms a mismatch for the price; still, the location is superb, and the decor shows attention to detail. For those prioritizing a social atmosphere, the complimentary happy hour and breakfast are definite pluses; just be sure to clarify room specifics when booking. A good base for exploring, but manage expectations.”
