We loved the location of this hotel. It was well within walking distance of several interesting restaurants.
The check-in staff were friendly and helpful, although one of them didn't even know what we were talking about when we asked about The Second Empire. It's right next door to the hotel!?
When I called to ask about the Sunday brunch, the response was lackadaisical and uninviting so we didn't stay to check it out. The hotel itself is clean and in reasonably good shape and the furniture and amenities were all present and in good condition.
The room was a little small but for the location and our purpose was just fine. It's just not special enough to recommend for more than one or two nights or for a special occasion, though.
