I was considering AirBnB for our Xmas Holidays. But this hotel turned out to be exceptional. With good for money values, we stayed for 5 days and 4 nights here.

Certain places just have a warm and inviting feel, and the Algonquin is one of those. Check out my photos for more details.…

The hotel is beautiful with a lot of charm. Room was comfortable and welcoming. We even got to meet Hamlet, the resident cat. Reason for 4 stars was that drink service in the lobby area was nonexistent - very disappointing.
