9.2 out of 10, Wonderful, (1000)
"Great experience, check in was fast, the centerpiece fireplace was impressive, great look to the public area, there was a small bar that I was not expecting and looked like it provided a fun spot to pre-game the concert over at Lenovo (or stadium). Beds were comfy, room clean, breakfast was standard fare but hot and fresh. Coffee was not topnotch but did the trick. Easy access to local sports, concerts, business. No fan in the bath so very steamy during/post shower, minor inconvenience. Really...

The Mayton
4.0 star property
9.4 out of 10, Exceptional, (615)
"Awesome location in Cary! Room was nice, but disappointed with the hard bed and poor quality bath towels. The hallways and lobby are in desperate need of renovation. The halls have an Overlook (The Shining) vibe. Only street parking, with very few reserved spaces. The staff needs some serious training on customer service at a boutique hotel. Can’t beat the location on Cary’s world class park and emerging old town scene. "

These are quite similar. “Historic hotel” is more commonly used in the U.S., whereas “heritage hotel” is common in Asia and Europe.
