My room faced out onto a building site - the property next to the cathedral was being rebuilt. Awful view and noisy. The hotel room itself was tired. I imagine it was really nice 15 years ago.

We enjoyed our stay, especially the great view from our room. The parking space we were assigned was too tight for our vehicle, a Fiat 600, which isn’t very large.Consequently, we paid a little more to park in a public spot very close to the hotel. We learned that it is important to reserve parking when you make your reservation to potentially get a better spot.
