“The hotel strikes me as a centrally situated option, steps away from local eateries, plus it has some old world charm; inside, some rooms are generously sized, with conveniences like ample toiletries and even washing pots separate from the toilet. A lift adds practicality in this established building, and breakfast seems to offer a nice spread.”
