Solid stay near city center

central location friendly staff helpful staff delicious breakfast
I was thinking about the location often. It had a central location for many things. The staff were friendly and helpful . Breakfast was delicious each morning, a good way to start the day.
The staircase to the room was dirty. The handrail looked filthy. It was a poor introduction.
