My wife and I had exceptional experience. We enjoyed the historic Georgian details, 12 foot ceilings, and color scheme, as well as the clear modern flourishes in regard to the desk design, king size bed and lighting. The staff keeps the place immaculate.
Spending a full week at Pembroke, we especially appreciated the deep restorative sleep we could get after a full day of walking and touring the city.
Its neighborhood is very safe —even at midnight on a Sunday or Monday. Two long blocks from the hotel is a commercial district that has the full day to day amenities — banks, pharmacies, a Tesco, four coffee shops— as well as many fun and varied restaurants (Thai, Malaysian, Spanish, Italian, Mexican, Jamaican) and pubs (Searson’s in particular is a gem!).
