Lonely Planet
"Families are a major focus... The majority of the lodgings are small suites with one or two beds, a pull out couch and a microwave and minifridge. Big enough for your small army."
Star Service

The small number of remaining unrenovated units should be avoided, as these are dated and dour.

Best to choose a second-floor unit, as complaints have surfaced regarding trampling feet in upstairs units.

"The redesigned Hotel Saint Cecilia, named for the saint of music and poetry, is a historic, romantic hotel with a rock-star edge."
