This hotel is too pricey at $400 per night for the poor conditions of the rooms. I stayed there for a friend's wedding and it's the only reason I did not leave and check in to the Belmond! I see the managers responding to posts like mine saying that it's an historic hotel. Using the fact that it's an historic building does not excuse lack of maintenance and house keeping (i.e. loose door handles, chipped paint, stale smelling carpet to name a few). I will never stay at this hotel again and would not recommend it to anyone else! Total rip off for the money even if you like historic charm! On a positive note great location but again the Belmond is around the corner which is where I will stay when I return.
