the location was acceptable, putting me close to attractions.
the black out curtains were insufficient, something i found frustrating. daylight streamed into the room during long daylight hours, disrupting sleep. i should have brought an eye mask.

I enjoyed the updated, modern decor inside a historic building. That was lovely. The room upgrade was worth it, AND the central location proved convenient. Breakfast offered friendly staff and amazing food. The hotel provided convenient access to shops, bars, and restaurants nearby.
The shower's operation posed some difficulties. the button controlling the water was notably hard to push.
