excellent stay at historic hotel

convenient locationcheese receptionvalet parkingshower controls
I found the location very convenient. the hotel provided breakfast and an evening wine and cheese reception. i appreciated the large, comfortable room and the valet parking option. it made getting around simple. i also enjoyed how clean the room was. Everything felt fresh.
the shower controls needed some improvement. it was difficult to manage a stable water temperature. this made showering a bit frustrating at times. a better system would be welcome.
