Excellent!, but ..
The service was AMAZING!!!! Second to none. Everyone was extremely friendly and helpful. Where they fell short was on the WiFi and in room TV/entertainment. The WiFi was spotty at best and TV did not work most of the time.

This property was beautiful. The rooms were very nice and clean. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The location is amazing. We had a great view of the church. There’s so much to walk around and see. The downside is it can be very loud because of the location. The church bells go off and you can hear that. I think due to the age of the building you can hear the rooms next door. They were unable to accommodate a late check out (which is understandable) but a little annoying if you have a later flight. The late check out fee if they could accommodate was more then half of what I paid for a night. I thought that was a bit much. Overall a very nice property.

The restaurant had an interesting menu but they could not get meals to the table at the same time so diners could eat together.

The building is gorgeous. The area is a great historic area, lots of great shops and restaurants. The staff was very hit or miss, either friendly and great or uninterested in being helpful or nice. Initially, I was on the first floor facing the interior and it was rather loud. The very wonderful front desk guy was fantastic and quickly moved me to a room on the 3rd floor which was a million times better. That guy deserves a huge raise for being friendly, kind and efficient. The pool was lovely.
