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.
