basic stay near the cathedral

free breakfast buffetoutdated furniturethin walls
the free breakfast buffet was quite decent and had a good variety of options.
The room felt quite outdated. The furniture was worn, and the bathroom fixtures looked like they hadn't been updated in years. the walls were thin and i could hear everything going on in the hallway.
