"Room was extremely small...we had a king plus 1 twin bed but basically in a standard room so no room to walk around. Had to shove our luggages under the bed to avoid tripping over them. Liked the unique historical design of the hotel and has charm which was why i picked it for something different. Service was impeccable though as the staff were super attentive and very friendly. "
