historic charm revisited!

accommodating stafftasty optionfresh roomconvenient access
I found the staff very accommodating. Nothing seemed too difficult. the breakfast offered many tasty options. housekeeping maintained a tidy and fresh room daily. I really appreciated that. the location offered convenient access to nearby attractions by car.
i noticed that the street outside was busy, so the thin windows allowed for some traffic noise though it was manageable.
