Acceptable Stay

lovely sitting roombeautiful insidepaint flakingsmall room
The location was awesome for the museums and trains! The inside was beautiful as well. I liked that the building had a lovely sitting room.
The pillars by the entrance had paint flaking off. Our room was somewhat small. It was very clean though. I couldn't get the hair dryer to work very well. I mentioned this to the cleaning lady, but she just shrugged.
