The bathroom definitely showed its age. the shower curtain felt outdated, and i noticed some rust on the showerhead. also, the breakfast felt a bit repetitive after a few days. I wished there was more variety available.

historical charm with a convenient location

helpful stafffresh pastriescentral locationeasy parking
the staff was helpful arranging taxis and offering local recommendations. the breakfast buffet featured fresh pastries and local cheeses, a great way to start the day. the hotel is near to the main plaza , made exploring easy! i appreciated having easy access to street parking as well.
I noticed the bathroom design looked somewhat dated. It could benefit from a refresh to align with the modern style of the rest of the hotel.
