A Decent Stay

convenient locationhelpful staffclean roomold furnituresmall poolfood selection
The location was very convenient. It allowed me to easily walk to many historical sites. My room was clean and well-kept each day of my stay. The staff were helpful with recommendations for local activities..
The breakfast area needed some improvement. The furniture was old. The selection of food could have been fresher. The pool was smaller than expected. It also was unclean . Spa was average.
