The old hall cannot be beaten in terms of history. Its truely amazing how many historical figures have been here.
However, i do think the hotel has seen better days but not in the way you'd think. The modern fixtures (bathroom) are really badly weathered, the rooms dont seem to be as clean as you'd hope. The older fixtures in the rooms were way better kept, which doesnt make sense. It feels as though maybe the love to keep the hotel, as a whole, has been lost.
In terms of someone that's staying with young children like us, I'd suggest staying else where. As its an old building the rooms are not soundproof & so little kids moving about is really hard to control. Which i guess is somewhat my own fault for not researching futher but as they offered a family room I thought it wouldnt be that bad.
The breakfast was lovely, lots of options for a buffet.
If you require assistance with luggage, there's no "bellboy" or staff available for this & the only lift is from almost 100 years ago so its quite small (pretty cool its still used). So keep this in mind for those that cant carry their own luggage or have a lot.
If youre needing somewhere to stay for a night then this may be a cool option but personally i wouldnt book this hotel for more than that.
