EXCELLENT stay IN A HISTORICAL location

friendly staff comfortable room fresh fruit

the staff was helpful and friendly throughout my stay. My room was comfortable, and it had all the necessary amenities. Breakfast had several options. I really enjoyed the fresh fruit each morning.

I noticed some wear and tear on the furniture in the room and in some public areas. I think a little maintenance work could improve the overall impression.
