I had a great time at this hotel. I stayed here with a large group of people. When describing the hotel "faded grandeur" is the phrase to use. It is an beautiful old hotel that has probably seen better days. However, the owners are slowly renovating the rooms. It has one clunky elevator and a gorgeous wide staircase that is faster. The full breakfast was really great. I stayed in a suite room that was good and the hotel is only a 10 min walk from the town or 5 mins from the conference centre.
