satisfactory stay

convenient location historic building kitchen access small room old building high price

I appreciated the location. It was convenient. the building had a historic feel. i found information about local amenities readily available. access to the kitchen for tea and coffee was a plus.

my room was very small. the building is quite old. i thought the price was high compared to the room size. the building's condition didn't quite match the cost.
