"A must stop for any history lover. Beautiful building! AC was sufficient, parking was easy even though the hotel is on a main road. Our room was in the middle of the building so we didn’t hear much road noise. And yes it’s on a main road, but this is a small town so the traffic isn’t anything major. ..."
