Very nice people in a very charming hotel, european style, with real keys. Room 108 is on the street, ask for a quieter room if it's possible. The breakfast place is very small but you can bring your plate in your room. Limited menu, no egg no bacon but bagels, muffins, cereals and fresh fruits. Enjoy !
