If you are fascinated by an historic hotel and spend a lot of time in the public places you might enjoy this hotel. If not, there are better options. The hotel is close to downtown but it is up quite a steep hill. The bathroom is advertised as large but more than half is a huge soaking tub with high sides that makes taking a shower dicey. Breakfast is served from 7 to 10 but if you don’t get there by 8:45, you will not get the full selection which isn’t very big to start with. They make a limited number of croissants and when you ask about having one at 9 AM, they say it would take 20 minutes. Before 8:45 or thereabouts, there are three types of bread. After that only one remains. This pattern continued for the three days we stayed there.
