"The location is great. The host was great with communication. We are a family of four and enjoyed the layout and location. I would stay again. The only strange thing was that the stairwell had a musty smell but it didn’t smell in any of the areas that you’d spend time in such as the bedrooms or kitchen."

What is a historic hotel like in The Rocks?

What is the difference between a historic hotel and a heritage hotel?
These are quite similar. "Historic hotel" is more commonly used in the U.S., while you'll often hear "heritage hotel" in Asia and Europe.
