Very nice building good history but if you’re looking for a quiet stay, this is not your place. The walls are paper thin and if anything is going on the courtyard, it is extremely loud inside your room.

This is a historic property. This means that the doors use keys, the floors slope a bit, and the stairs creak. And it’s an absolutely beautiful and charming resort. I cannot recommend this place enough.
