plentiful optionspeeling paintold furniture

Breakfast was good. Options were plentiful, which I expect from a hotel of this apparent standing.

My experience had some low points. The room showed clear signs of needing updates. There was peeling paint in the bathroom. The furniture was old and of poor quality. This did not meet my expectation.
