Solid Stay in Historic Spot

varied breakfast helpful staff comfortable bath good internet
Breakfast had many options and tasted good. The staff was friendly and helpful anytime I needed assistance. My bedroom was nice, and it had a comfortable bath. Internet access worked well in the bedroom and throughout the hotel.
The lift seemed old and a bit dusty. Carpet edges looked worn.

historic stay

courtyard snack area convenient location
the receptionist helped me with my luggage because i have mobility issues. they remembered my name and room key (it felt very personalized). the hotel also has a courtyard snack area. i enjoyed the convenient location, right in the heart of the city.
the corridors was dark and somewhat worn. i thought the room needed a shelf in the bathroom. it was difficult to store toiletries, as a result.
