great locationlovely furnishingshelpful staffterrible smellshort shower curtainsmall room
The location was tops! it provided easy access to the sites i wanted to visit. i loved the furnishings. They added a tender touch. So lovely.
A terrible smell did hit me when i first arrived. It unfortunately lingered the entire stay. the shower curtain didn't fully cover the shower, allowing water to escape. A small inconvenience. the room felt small for two people. More space would have been welcome.

The hotel has a prime location close to key attractions. I easily accessed several famous sites. Breakfast included many choices. I found the antique furnishings and chandeliers good.
The air conditioning was not working. This made the room quite hot during the day.
