Historic Charm, Nice Stay

indoor pool helpful staff good coffee fresh fruit

The hotel has both an indoor and outdoor pool area. The sauna, steam room, and gym were all easily accessible. Staff members were helpful. They guided guests thoroughly. The breakfast included options for custom-ordered eggs, good coffee, and fresh fruit.

The room i occupied lacked sufficient soundproofing. This was unexpected. i thought the in-room coffee came at a relatively high cost.

I found the outdoor pool and indoor pool facilities very convenient. I was also impressed by the sauna and steam room. The gym included a crosstrainer for exercise.

The room I stayed in had about two feet of space around the bed. The air conditioner blew air directly onto the bed making it difficult to sleep. The bathroom featured a claw foot tub with a shower curtain creating an inconvenience during showers.
