The breakfast did not impress me! I thought its quality was low. The pastries were dry. They tasted like they had been processed. I also did not like that I had to pay extra for parking. I have almost never paid for parking while staying at a hotel.

Classic Charm, Solid Experience

helpful staffwide selectionhistorical centerstocked minibar
I found the staff to be consistently helpful and always smiling. The breakfast buffet offered a wide selection with fresh options daily. The location made it easy to explore the historical center. Many sites were within walking distance. A minibar was available in the room, stocked with various drinks and snacks.
The room temperature was difficult to adjust. It remained quite warm, and opening the window was necessary to cool the room at night.
