Chris Canada

Loved the history of the building & the food in the restaurant was delicious.

Vincent United States of America

I appreciated the staff moving me from the 3rd floor (no elevator/lift). Although, the room they switched me to wasn't clean. So, they moved me to another room.

Bristol United States of America

We were upgraded to a suite. A fabelous view over the city from the bed room and from the bay window in the sitting/dining area. We had lunch and braakfast which were both very good value.
