acceptable stay.

central location charming building individually designed rooms narrow stairs breakfast coffee machine elderly customer
the location was certainly central. the building had a certain charm. i found the individually designed rooms appealing.
my room was at the top of the hotel, accessible via narrow stairs. this might present challenges for elderly guests. the breakfast coffee machine did not work properly. it took a long time to get a cup, and the machine broke down on both mornings.
