"Bygone charm and an effusive welcome from irrepressible owner Tildy in a rambling, immaculately maintained 1920s hotel. Superb value for the central location."
Top choice
"A rambling downtown 1920s charmer, the Astor retains much of its character: stained-glass windows, old furniture, lofty ceilings (with ceiling roses) and the irrepressible Tildy at the helm." Full review
