Pros:

Piękny budynek hotelowy z czystymi i nietuzinkowymi pokojami.

Cons:

Trochę większe porcje śniadaniowe. Chociaż śniadanie samo w sobie przepyszne

Lovely building but expensive for the location
Pros:

Beautiful room and large bathroom. Attention to detail with decorating

Cons:

Front desk said the hot tub was opened but it was not. Long stairs to carry luggage. Note that there is nothing really around the property.

Pros:

The bed was comfy.

Cons:

The refrigerator did not stay cold. I was unable to fill the bathtub with water to take a bath. Hardly any TV channels to watch on Direct TV. Musty, dusty, and stains on chair and carpet. Rooms really need to be remodeled and repairs need to be fixed.

Cute, good value.
Pros:

The historic property has been well maintained and adds a great element to the experience. It feels like staying in history

Cons:

The staff were not great. They need to take some lessons on hospitality. They did nothing to make us feel welcomed. In fact it felt the opposite. The owner (or guy in charge) was on a personal call when we arrived and told us to “just sit down” and it’ll be about 5 minutes. Someone else finally came out to help but not a great welcome. Throughout the stay they didn’t feel connected to the property. Just running a business. Not comfy or homey - as this property should have. Also the amenities (coffee, toilet paper, etc felt cheap - like motel 8 quality. Not a match for a luxury property.
