In this case, this hotel did surprise me. First, because I am someone who reads reviews from everywhere. But we stayed in front of the reception. The room is still spacious and super clean. I loved that. The breakfast was good. The only thing I would recommend would be to put out the cold juices and some ice. The rest was acceptable. But the room is worth it.

Great view, but it was very cold in our room! The thermostat was set to 16c when we arrived, there were no extra blankets, and it only warmed to 19c by morning with the space heater running the entire night.

We had to switch rooms right after check in because turning the thermostat to on to heat resulted in flooding from the bathroom cieling. Suspect pipes for the boiler were ruptured. Everything in the new room was fine. Very spacious and comfortable rooms that are in good condition.

Nice location close to the casino. For the most part very quiet. Comfortable bed and nice hot water. One minor drawback was parking. Was confusing on what do to get in.

Spacious rooms and walkable to good eateries

This is a handsome building and tastefully altered to become a hotel instead of a courthouse (it should have remained a courthouse forever!) My room was spacious and clean. The heating system was very quiet. The shower was simple to figure out and worked well. The cooked breakfast was decent, but the bakery items could improve. No complaints about the coffee. THe hotel could add signage to make it more obvious where the main entrance is. There were several good restaurants within walking distance.
