Would not recommend unless you don’t have another option
Pros:

Staff was nice and helpful and it’s in the historic district.

Cons:

Dirty, a lot of things in the room were broken, no windows (except for a hole in the wall) but you could still hear everything outside.

W porządku, choć ma wady
Pros:

Super położenie blisko wszystkiego, duży pokój i wygodne łóżko, na plus możliwość kąpieli w basenie, przytulny wystrój obiektu, „z klimatem”. Miłe Panie sprzątaczki.

Cons:

Dość średnio przyjemna łazienka, nie było idealnie czysto, pani na recepcji mogłaby być bardziej ogarnięta i otwarta. Na minus brak ręczników dla gości na basenie. W nocy dość głośno, ale da się spać. Wysokie ceny w barze hotelowym. W cenie pobytu mogłoby być śniadanie
