A charming chapter in the city

hot orderdistinctive stylenon-dairy butterdisruptive road work
The breakfast included both continental options and cooked-to-order dishes. The atmosphere stood out, and the hotel had a distinctive style. Staff members were attentive and addressed dietary needs, even sourcing non-dairy butter nearby. I received a quiet room on the second floor, as requested.
The absence of air conditioning was noticeable, especially with warm weather. Only fans provided relief. Early morning road work was disruptive.

The staff members were kind and helpful. They assisted with several requests. the food, including breakfast and dinner, was good. complimentary refreshments were available in the room, a nice gesture. being greeted by name upon arrival was a personal touch.
I found no air conditioning in the room. I did not check for it beforehand. the windows only open slightly. This limits airflow.
