The hotel itself is well kept & the light fittings etc. are like they were back in the early days, but they look new. We assume there has been some considerable expense to update, but still be authentic. The bed was very comfortable, the elevator was fast & efficient & we felt that much caring went into making the rooms set up, pleasant, orderly & comfortable. The area around the hotel is amazing. It’s lovely to watch the river & enjoy the scenery around it. Parking was a bit of a problem for us as there could have been spaces available if two motorcycles had not parked so far apart they took up 3 spaces. It seems someone at the door of the hotel could remedy that problem during early check in hours. I guess a small frig in the rooms would take away from decor but it surely would have been nice to have a place to keep drinks cool during hot weather. We found it a bit inconvenient to have to get ice from the restaurant in the hours they are open. Over all……I wish we could have stayed longer. One nite us just not enough to enjoy all of the ambience there is in the hotel & surroundings.
