This is a wonderful place, a bit old fashioned but harks back to the older age of comfort and quality. The room was comfortable, spacious and meticulous prepared. The staff were impeccable and the location is just a couple blocks back from Princess Street with good local restaurants, bars, shopping and sightseeing not far away. Recommended. Definitely a place to comp
