    I recently stayed at the Old Waverley Hotel for a weekend getaway. The location was perfect, and we were able to easily explore the city. The breakfast spread was absolutely wonderful, offering a wide variety of delicious options. The bed was incredibly comfortable, providing a great night's sleep. The staff was friendly and accommodating, allowing us to store our luggage before check-in and after check-out without any hassle. This made our stay even more convenient and enjoyable.

    Can't recommend highly enough this hotel.
