You can expect a unique stay in a very cool historic building. Do NOT expect this to feel like you are being pampered. The price reflects the location and "experience" of the building not amenities. Hard to get both when the building is more than 200 years old. Just need to decide what is most important to you during your visit. Overall we enjoyed our stay, just felt the price was really high compared to what a high-end hotel would offer with respect to comfort in the same area.
