It has an older, colonial style look with plenty of verandas and balconies. But modern where it counted (heating, A/C, internet etc.). Breakfasts were very good, as was the one hotel dinner I had. Cozy hotel bar as well. I'd definitely go back.

Hotel is positioned well to be relatively quiet from road noise, but close enough to NOTL shops, cafes, restaurants, etc. Position of my room adjacent to creaky stairs, which didn't lend to the best night sleep. View from window was directly into a skip. Shower barely reached warm water.
