There were 3 in our party and we had one room at the front (twin) and one at the rear. The room at the front was a good size, clean and tidy. It did however, suffer from a lot of road noise that went on into the early hours. The room at the rear (double), was big enough to house the bed, with no room to lay the suitcase open on the floor, again, we could not fault the cleanliness, although we were short of a light bulb in one of the lamps. At 12.30am, someone (I presume a bar/restaurant adjacent to the hotel) decided to empty their empty glass bottles into a bin, thus sounding like a visit to a recycling plant. In its favour, the location is great for the attractions and you have everything on your doorstep. Personal opinion is that this would be a 2 star in the UK and it is likely that if US tourists are used to luxury and not accustomed with the slightly 'quirkier' European ways, that its possible that some of the charm of the hotel would be lost if a good night's sleep is required. There was some building work going on during our stay, again, we were not affected, as we were out for most of the daylight hours. I would say that this is only a hotel for a night only stop off, before going onto another destination. If reserving a room, ask to stay as high up in the hotel as you can, as this may prevent some of the rising road and 'scooter' traffic noise. Breakfast is typically European and may not be to everyone's taste, but if you want what you get at home, then why travel? As a footnote the English spoken at the hotel is impeccable and the barman was a sheer delight! Somewhat faded in terms of its obvious previous splendour, but I found the 'lived in' look refreshing after boutique chic.
