Breakfast was continental and fairly standard fare. Could have used a little more variety. Rooms were clean and well appointed. The hotel was just a little ‘tired’ looking but overall positive experience.

Unique restored historic buildings with a nice courtyard area bordering on Water Street so an excellent location. Rooms have sloped ceilings and ours on the 4th floor was quite dark, despite 2 windows. View towards Signal Hill was nice though. Also the elevator only goes to the 3rd floor so you have to take stairs to the 4th floor which might not be convenient for all. Pillows need to be replaced. But continental breakfast was nice and we did enjoy our stay.

Very convenient location, huge but old style rooms. Elevator wasn't working so had to carry luggage up and down stairs. Breakfast options were not bad, not many options but basics covered. Not sure if we would choose to stay here again.
