Very adequate, vintage feel hotel. Room was spacious, like you were staying in Aunt Rose's spare room upstairs in a huge Victorian. Staff was very friendly, bed was clean and comfortable. Only downside was how low the toilet was and the very narrow staircase and 43 stairs it took to get to the third floor. But I would stay there again for the value!
