The location was perfect. Right on Prince Street. The front desk staff were very helpful when my airline changed my flights at the last minute. I had to use the front desk phone since the phone in my unit was dead.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
I was surprised that there wasn't an elevator from the street entrance to the lobby and a ramp from lobby to the hotel elevator. If you don't have the strength to carry your luggage up stairs, you can't use the hotel. As well, the room floor was uneven (we joked about it).
Well located to train station, new town, and more. More stairs than expected from the street level to the lobby. Has a lift from the lobby to other floors. Spacious rooms. Bed comfortable.
The Old Waverly is running an outstanding support operation for a traveler such as me: they stored my bag prior at around 10a when I arrived on my train, to allow me to tour the city before check in time; when I needed to leave very early the next morning for my departure flight, they brought my pre-paid breakfast to my room; it’s on the same block as the Waverly Train Station and the Airlink100 bus to the airport. The place was clean and tidy. I’d stay there again.
