The odd cosmetic enhancement here and there (cable tv and jets in the baths) cannot hide the fact that she is slightly past her prime.
Despite this, there is many a good tune played on an old fiddle and a stay here will be very pleasent.
The courtyard is beautiful, and the Bar Hemmingway reminds you of a conquest she had earlier in her life (he stayed here)
and the antique lift still works, even if it takes some coaxing.
Try to get a room facing onto the courtyard - opening the shutters onto it in the morning and allowing the sunlight to stream through make a great start to the day - but skip the expensive breakfast.
The website is also worth a visit with an extrememly impressive 360 degrees view of the lobby area.
