The room was reasonably clean but the halls smelled of mildew. The staff as nice as could be but the breakfast was minimal.The location is terrific and the views lovely. All told, despite the limitations I would come again for the central location and the courtesy of the staff.

Staff was not great - check-in staff was not engaging at all. And we went to the front desk twice and no one was there. Walking in they sat there and did not even greet us. Overall stay very mediocre. Room only ok, felt a bit old and cold.
