Joe, Jan 2026
Pros (+) Fantastic location
Cons (-) We didn't know that bands play there at night until 11pm. Not sure if it is every night but it was very noisy. We were lucky to receive an upgrade/room change away from the band where it was much more quiet. Had this not happened I think we would have been pretty unhappy.

Pros (+) My wife and I stayed at The Russell Boutique during our honeymoon and had a lovely experience.

Frances, Jan 2026
Pros (+) Excellent location with colonial architecture and atmosphere
Cons (-) Staff should have reminded us : 10% off when dining at fortune of war. It was written on room key package however I did not look at it till checking out. We dined 3 times over there ( including one big dining group of 5 people) and paid full price each time! Bistro did not check if we stay upstairs either. This is something staff should have more training and reminding! ( I feel they did this on p...
