10/10 Excellent
"Gorgeous hotel in the most incredible area, local to everything! Within a few blocks you have a view of the city or a waterfront with restaurants, pharmacy, souvenir shop, coffee shops and the most magnificent City Square right out of the steps of this hotel. Did I mention how Gorgeous it is? But it is definitely a step into the past. My key was a "skeleton key"! And be aware, there are no elevators and the hotel lobby is initially up a flight of stairs.. Breakfast was minimal but included the essentials...bread, butter, brewed coffee, tea, cheese, meat, pastry, yogurt and cereal and fresh made eggs. The kitchen staff made it next level and you felt "home"."
