Historical Charm and Perfect Location!

early tour front desk

I was actually surprised by the breakfast bags the staff made for our early tour. They really were very good! The kind staff, because there was always someone at the front desk. I REALLY appreciated the perfect location that was close to all the sightseeing spots.

The room key needed to be left at reception. I had to take all my valuables with me every time I left.

Acceptable option for a short stay

central location helpful staff daily housekeeping small room uneven floor limited breakfast

The location was advantageous. Many attractions were within walking distance. My room had daily housekeeping. I found the staff helpful when I needed directions.

My room was quite small. The bathroom floor felt uneven. I almost tripped. I found the limited breakfast options disappointing, especially the processed meat.
