difficult accessweak coffee
the parking situation proved quite the puzzle. you have to navigate a maze around the city to reach it. then at breakfast, asking for coffee reminded me of pulling teeth. it only arrived after i asked three times. the taste certainly didn't make the wait worthwhile, just some weak filter coffee.

decent but flawed

central locationclosed access roadcarpet smell
the central location allowed easy access to many attractions.
I found the parking situation frustrating. The access road was closed without prior notice. i had to stop in the street to ask for directions. the lack of clear signage made it even more difficult to find the entrance, even with gps. I had to walk back to the hotel for clarification.

interesting historyfriendly staffgood breakfast
the building has an interesting history and retains a sense of serenity i found the staff very friendly and helpful breakfast included a good selection of items it made for a positive start to the day i appreciated the availability of parking at the hotel.
the receptionist was not particularly friendly and the service felt somewhat cold it affected the initial welcome experience a bit.
