We had a wonderful three night stay here. Our room was off of the street and quiet, breakfasts in the restaurant were top notch and food was plentiful although my wife said the coffee was a little weak. Staff were very friendly and courteous. There are a number of stairs, but they led to unique levels and roof top patios that we enjoyed exploring. Location was perfect with close access to all sites while still a little away from the action. Would highly recommend this hotel.
