Romantic getaway, not family vacation

Breakfast not included, restaurant attached was slightly overpriced for the quality, not the quantity of food. Rooms and shared bath super clean.

The art in the rooms
Benigno, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

My thoughts.

It was a good stay! Fascinated by the hotel's history, and appreciated the staff's willing to be of assistance. Was not exactly expecting for the bathroom to be shared, I may have glossed over that fact. Wished there was some kind of mini fridge in the room for any leftover foods to avoid any chance of food going bad otherwise anything I had to eat will be just tossed out. Noise in environment around rooms were ok, you could hear footsteps from other visitors, but it isn't as bad as you think! Would stay here again although, and try out more things to do in the area!

It is an interesting older building that is very conveniently located. Rooms are quite small and do not have TVs
