easy accessused tablet of soapuncovered rawlplugs

the hotel's location near the funicular railway provided easy access to nearby attractions. even arriving late, the welcome was very warm.

I was disappointed to find the bathroom needed more thorough cleaning. A used tablet of soap sat in the shower soap dish. various alterations in the bathroom did not cover up old rawlplugs. the website implied fine dining was available, but only breakfast occurred.
