This hotel is a contradiction. I booked it because of the location and the great reviews. And I agree with the reviews...for the most part. The staff and service of this hotel (which I see as more of a bed and breakfast) make up for almost all of its quirks. And boy, it has a lot of quirks. First, my room (#5) had no doorknob of any kind. Doesn't sound like a problem until you have to try and lock the door. Secondly, the toilet in my room was constantly an issue. When it was working properly, it would make strange noises every so often. I was warning of "only flushing toilet paper" upon check in, because of the ancient plumbing in the old building. But, the toilet would periodically make novices an hour or more after use. When the plumbing was not working properly, both the shower and the toilet were affected, but rectified easily. The bed, though large, was hard. The AC worked well but you could not keep it on when you were not in the room...I tried to keep it on one day (it was in the high 80s during my June stay) and housekeeping must have turned it off. There was a phone in the room but calls could not be transferred to it. And (a minor thing), the tv had more channels than I could scroll through but none in English that I found. Saying all of that, I thoroughly enjoyed my stay because of the staff and the wonderful service. The staff was all very friendly and willing to help out in any way. I enjoyed getting to know them and they made this one worth it.
