university campus stay
university campus no air conditioning
the breakfast was excellent.
The hotel's location was misleading. It is on a university campus. this felt different from what i expected based on the photos. the room lacked air conditioning. i also found the value for money questionable, considering the overall experience.

Charming Stay in a Historical Setting
comfortable bed functional desk coffee machines
The staff greeted me with warm smiles and efficient service. My room had a comfortable bed, a couch, and a functional desk for work. I enjoyed the convenience of having coffee machines both in my room and in the lobby.. that's quite thoughtful.
The hotel's website showed larger common areas than actually available. I was hoping for more expansive spaces.
