Lovely

Hotel was lovely and so were the staff. Breakfast was nicer than some of the hotels I’ve stayed in. My one complaint is that lack of sound proofing, when someone walked past my room it sounded like a heard of elephants and anyone talking while walking past it sounded like they were purposely shouting (they may have been but I shouldn’t think they were)

The property was very nice. And on coolnigys there was good air flow. Not sure how it would be on hot evenings. Is air conditioning in hotels future? The streets can be quite noisy on a Saturday night after the bar closes, but the hotel felt safe.
