Dawnpl United Kingdom

The Hotel 1898 was gorgeous. it has a very sexy lobby with bar area and beautiful cocktails. The lower level spa area was also gorgeous with indoor pool and sauna. I was really looking forward to using the steam room but it was out of order for our time there. My room was so great with high ceilings and lots of room! My friends room had a private terrace!

Jennifer United States of America

Our room was clean and spacious, bed very comfortable. The breakfast selection was very good, and the staff very helpful. Plenty of seating in the bar area. Spa was small and the water was not very warm, so we didn't stay in there for any length of time.
