Great location and Service

This was a great location, beautiful buildings, and very good staff. Rooms are clean, food at breakfast very fresh. My only reason for less than excellent in comfort was old soft pillows and a little noisy. The buildings are wood frame and even on top floor noise traveled a bit.

I had some doubts after reading the reviews here, but this was actually really nice. The lobby is a little silly, and the corridors have extremely low ceilings, but the room was totally fine - clean and quiet.
