Really like beautiful old buildings with modern interior design like this one. Everything was pretty good. Mattress was comfy. Pub food was good too. Cleaning could be improved (eg exterior windows & windowsills need a good clean) and AC in rooms needs to run to ensure the hallways & rooms stay must free.
