Older hotel, refurbished with a great location right on Eyre Square. The room was comfortable with 12' ceilings, keeping with an established decor from a precious age.

Robert United States of America

This is a lovely old world hotel. The rooms were spacious and comfortable. The locations was central to everything in the city. Breakfast was included and was delicious with multiple options.

Jeanne United States of America

Lovely hotel with a nice fireplace in the lobby,. The bar area was well done with very good and knowledgeable staff and music that was fun to listen to after a night out. We also decided to have our 40th anniversary dinner that the hotel and it was wonderful. The food was excellent and the wait perfect. Would recommend. In my first review, I posted about a fire alarm that went off. That was for another hotel by the airport we stayed at on our way out. Sorry for the confusion
