Very large rooms. Unique hotel stay, a step back in time with all amenities of 21st century. Enjoyed having a “cooked for you” rather than buffet breakfast. No need to drive for dinner or drinks, Tom Tom Tap had it all. Nice area for an evening walk.

Breakfast was very good. Hotel was clean & quiet. Definitely dated but worth the stay. It was walkable distance to the venue we were attending. Shower had wonderful pressure & plenty of hot water. One of the delights of the room. Tom Tom's the bar at the hotel came in clitch with all night pizzas & nicely priced drinks. We would definitely stay again if we were in the area.

It's fun to stay in a big old 100-year-old hotel. This one is showing its age, but it's not bad. The staff were nice and efficient. For the price, it's a great deal.

Budget travelers dream

Bed was comfortable, water was hot, plenty of space, and the free breakfast was cooked to order! We were competely satisfied! Can’t beat the price with BF included. There’s a bar next door with great pizza too! I’d recommend for the budget traveler.

The hotel was very nostalgic and was like a trip back in time. Food was great and the staff was friendly. The elevator was very slow and there was no desk in the room, but that was part of the old time charm. Only real negative was the ice machine was noisy and my room was right next to it. I will stay there again.
