mixed feelings about my stay
torn sheet gray towels
I was a bit disappointed with a few things. the towels felt really old and rough. They were gray and not very soft. also, the bed only had one sheet, and it was too small and torn, so it barely covered the mattress. it.

satisfactory stay near historical sites
convenient location wide array wonderfully fresh thin walls hallway noises natural light
the hotel's location was convenient. it was easy to reach major historical sites by walking, a romantic stroll in itself. the breakfast included a wide array of choices, and everything tasted wonderfully fresh.
the walls seemed quite thin in the room. i could easily hear noises from the hallway and nearby rooms, a bit disruptive. also, the room i stayed in was located in the basement. it lacked natural light, something i wished was different.
