Mixed Experience at Historic Hotel

satisfactory breakfastfaulty air conditionerpoor tv reception

The breakfast provided a satisfactory start to the day.

My room felt outdated, with issues affecting my stay. The air conditioner did not function properly. A portable radiator was the only alternative. The tv reception was poor as well (especially when i really wanted to watch a specific show).
