solid stay in historical setting

comfortable bedequipped bathroomtasteful decorroom temperature
my room was a standard double room. it featured a comfortable bed and a well-equipped bathroom. the room had modern amenities and tasteful decor. i found it quite practical for my short stay of three nights.
I experienced a minor inconvenience with the initial room temperature. It took longer than expected to adjust to a comfortable level, a bit annoying.

The room was clean. Staff were very helpful . The venue was beautifully decorated for the season.
The front desk did not respond to my calls during the day. This complicated leaving arrangements. They also did not respond to my emails causing logistical problems.
