We loved it! The modern upgrades were very pleasing, the room decor and the comfort of the bed were fantastic. The spacious lounge area on the second floor was very cool and it had access to the balcony looking over the main street. Lots of antique artifacts to enjoy throughout the building. The location could not have been better, right on Broad Street, chock full of great shops and restaurants. We opted not to eat in the restaurant, even though the decor was historical and really cool, the menu frankly did not look very exciting. We opted for a different restaurant around the corner, and then we came back and had a cocktail in the super cool bar. Do not miss the bar.

Everything in the Hotel was great, especially the band in the bar! Had breakfast in the dining room, service was good, but the food tasted like it was cooked in rancid oil. But overall, we enjoyed our stay.
