Charming Stay in Unique Hotel

cozy roomhigh ceilingfriendly staffhard pillow
I really charmed by cozy rooms and high ceilings. I was like home immediately upon entering the building. Staff was helpful. Selected breakfast offered everything needed and avoided waste. I love this mindful approach.
The blackout curtains were insufficient, and I struggled with hard pillows. These issues affected my sleep quality.
