Good stopover, centrally located in town.

Beautiful old building. Room served its purpose for an over night stay with a shared bathroom..The hotel was centrally located in the town. We ate a lovely meal in in the restaurant in the evening and it was reasonably priced. Staff were very attentive. We had a continental breakfast in with the price.
