“Great little hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 November 2007

Our party of 7 people loved the little hotel, although it is more of a B & B than a hotel. The staff were very friendly, made us tea when we arrived and directed us to a nearby pub, (the Olio I think is its name),where we walked to dinner. Free internet access and my friends all loved the place because of its 'local flavour'. There is a train nearby (used for commuters?) which operates only in the morning and evening rush hours so it isn't too bad.

  • Liked — Local flavour
  • Disliked — Too far to walk to central city

“Really small”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 November 2005

people found this review helpful

Stayed at the 1492 because of its location. Nice enough and clean enough and convenient enough with a good breakfast but, room was so small we had to go outside just to change our mind. At about $75 it was way too much. We cancelled our second night and went to a fantastic french hotel just a few blocks away for only a small amount more. We have stayed in better places at half the rate.
