The hotel lobby displayed antiques and beautiful art. i noted soft jazz playing, and staff members offered assistance. breakfast included many options. I enjoyed the plentiful choices. the tea and coffee in my room provided a welcome touch.
there was no elevator, i had to reach the room on the third floor every time by stairs. it was hard, especially carrying luggage.

Historical Charm and Convenient Location
historical buildingspacious roomhelpful staffconvenient parking
The building exhibits lots of character. It was like stepping back in time. Our room was spacious, and the bed was both comfortable and large. I found the staff cute and quite helpful. Overnight parking was reasonably priced, and the check-in and check-out times were convenient.
I noticed some objects were dusty. I guess the room was closed for a while

The hotel is approximately a 15-minute walk south of the main center. There is a tram stop located very close to the hotel. A barge boat bar is just around the corner. It is super.

This hotel had a really tasty breakfast. I found a good selection of items. The location was good in a beautiful city. Staff were also really nice.
The facilities seems outdated. I see cover for old furnitures looks dirty. I am unsure if the furniture was just old. I find it uncomfortable to rest well.
