Not having an elevator for the luggage could cause a problem but both times we were in need help showed up..
It was nice to wake up to a delicious breakfast, served family style by an accommodating young fellow who happened to be a great chef.

The stairs are difficult, but I understand that you cannot do much about that in an older home.

Hair dryer is OK, but is not one of the really powerful ones that are best for long hair. Breakfast starts at 7:30, which was OK for me, but may be late for some business travelers.
Wifi worked well. Staff are friendly and helpful.

Four floors and no elevator. No air conditioning but there is a paddle fan on the ceiling. Very difficult to find on-street parking - had to walk 2+ blocks to get to our vehicle. Other parking areas were too far from hotel. Distance from attractions and Union Station - $13.00+ cab fare. One window was cracked. Bed pillows were solid memory foam; not very comfortable.
