Booked 6 nights, 3 rooms. Took 2 of our kids and a friend.

The suite we are in has air con from the 70 s that is similar to old school window air con so the compressor is in your room and therefore it is very noisy. That s air con for a $60 a night hotel. I would have opened a window or two but the compressor for the suite next door is right outside our window and is on day and night.

The bathroom is arranged so that the toilet basin faces the vanity with about 12 inched between the two. Where are your knees meant to go? Whoever did the interior design needs to get a new tape measure.

There s no water pressure in the shower.

The door to the bathroom has a gap about an inch and a half to the door jamb. Don t expect any privacy.

The staff at the retaurant and in the bar area judge you and if you don t look like a million dollars expect to be talked down to. Never mind you have 3 rooms.

Nice location, nice architecture, nice history-might be good for a couple s overnighter but for the rest of us the Inn is trading on an undeserved reputation.
