Victorian Charm and Modern Comfort
cozy feel beautiful living room convenient walk helpful receptionist
The lobby was a beautiful space. I appreciated the fan inside my room. It was easy to walk downtown. I could catch a bus to the city center with no trouble. The receptionist helped me by lending me a converter for my computer. It was very kind.
The room needed more shelves. The bathroom especially lacked storage space. A few hooks would help a lot.
Rooms

The room was spacious with a nice view facing the garden. I found a self-contained bathroom that seemed recently modernized and pristine. I slept well on the comfortable bed, thanks to pristine linen.
Dining

Breakfast had varied quality. My first breakfast seemed so-so. The next morning breakfast was much better. It really depended on who was cooking.
