10/10 Excellent
"Stayed on 17th floor facing airport, amazing views, great amenities, a massive hotel with normal big hotel amenities (laundry service only). Comfortable beds and pillows. One downside was walls between rooms super thin, lady in room next door coughed all night long 😞, limited sleep had."

You'll often hear the term "heritage hotel" in Asia and Europe, while "historic hotel" is more common in the U.S. but overall the terms are quite similar.
