Absolutely amazing. We stayed in the brand new Porter's House annex. The family agreed it was the best hotel we're ever stayed at!
Beautiful hotel in a perfect location for exploring the city. Great customer service and amenities!
The decor of the rooms is dark and dimly lit but personally I love it, I just like that style. I also loved The Cobbler bar which happened to feature in a book we have at home called '150 bars to visit before you die'…
A beautiful hotel in the perfect location! A warm and welcoming staff.
Location was excellent. Decor was high quality
We really liked the hotel, however having the bed,shower and basin upstairs, and the toilet and lounge downstairs (very steep stairs!) was inconvenient, frustrating and…
We made our best memories here at 1898. It was truly a highlight of our trip. From the staff, the room, the breakfast and the location and of course the historical building. Truly the BEST hotel during our journey.

Please note, when booking 6 or more rooms, other policies and charges may apply. Please contact the property for more information.Please inform of your expected arrival time in advance. You can use the Special Requests box when booking, or contact the property directly using the contact details in your confirmation. Guests are required to show a photo ID and credit card upon check-in. Please note that all Special Requests are subject to availability and additional charges may apply.

Check-in is from 4:00 PM. Check-out is by 12:00 PM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Yes — parking is available on site at a charge the property sets. We check the rate and whether a space can be reserved against your dates.
Breakfast is offered at the property. Whether it's included depends on the rate — the board type is shown on each room once you put your dates in.
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
The property lists meeting and banquet space, which usually means it handles group business — but how many rooms it will hold at once, for how long, and at what rate are set case by case and are not in any feed. Tell us the dates and the number of rooms and we'll get those terms from the property in writing before anything is charged.
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
The property lists a front desk staffed 24 hours, so a late arrival should be possible. Standard check-in is from 4:00 PM. Rooms are still released after a cut-off at some properties regardless of the desk hours, so tell us your arrival time and we'll have them hold it.
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.

Nothing to do with the booking above. The same market, priced the same way, for if this one is not it.
