wonderful stay at a historic hotel
helpful staff perfect location great breakfast
the staff was helpful (i really appreciated their assistance). the location was perfect for exploring the area with everything easily accessible. i especially enjoyed the breakfast each morning. It was a great way to start the day.
I noticed the room decor was slightly outdated. the wallpaper had a few tears and the furniture showed some wear. These minor cosmetic issues detracted a bit from the otherwise excellent stay.

the room was large and comfy, equipped with coffee, tea, nice hair products, soft towels, an iron, a hairdryer, and a double shower. the staff were really friendly and helpful, their professionalism was evident. breakfast was excellent, a wide choice was served at the table by friendly staff. i'd love to return in the future.
