it is an old building, so outside look is somewhat deceiving, but the rooms are clean, furniture is in excellent condition and having a large refrigerator and a regular coffee maker (instead of a tiny cup size coffee maker) is great. Staff is friendly and accommodating. I will definitely stay there again.
