it was good to stay in a traditional Hotel and experience with no thrills or gimmicks.
Pros:

it was basic and it met my basic needs with a bed and a place to retreat from the business of the day. It also had the old-world charm of a bygone time when many country Hotels was the only way to travel. And the price was ok for what it provided.

Cons:

The room did not have a chair in which to just sit. and it could have done with a desk in which to work. As it was winter it also needed some heating. The Shower took a long time fort the hot water to come through and the shower could have been a bit more as it took a long time to rinse my hair of the shampoo and Conditioner.

Local drunks spoil a good stay and lie about us to distract from their harrasment of us.
Pros:

Everything was great until the last night. The door lock was dodgy but we got used to checking it. We had a good time until the last night.

Cons:

The local drunks made us fear for our safety on our final night. We barricaded ourselves in. We called for staff but the local drunks lied and said we were smoking in our room and the staff were far more concerned with that than with the fact that we had barricaded ourselves in and called local police for advice.

The door also didn't always shut properly. You had to triple check it. We left several hours early before check out.

Those drunks stalked us and watched for our return that night. They harassed us. We were terrified.
