Hotel is conveniently located close to the train station and about a 15 minute walk to town where all the attractions are. Beautiful lobby and grounds. Our room was a bit small but would’ve been fine except the sink and shower did not drain. I suspect it is an ongoing problem as there’s a moldy smell upon entering the room.
