According
to
the
hotel
by-line,
the
hotel
came
into
existence
in
1799.
It
blows
me
away
that
I
get
to
experience
part
of
this
history
while
enjoying
the
modern
amenities
the
hotel
has
implemented.
The
bed
was
extremely
comfortable,
the
sheets/towels/robes
were
luxurious,
the
AC
in
the
room
was
quiet
as
I'm
averse
to
noise
while
trying
to
get
a
good
night
sleep,
the
bathroom
was
large
&
roomy.
Even
though
I
was
on
the
second
floor,
I
couldn't
hear
anything
from
upper
floors.
It
is
conveniently
located
with
a
short
walk
to
the
main
commercial
area
&
the
wall/bridge.
I
basically
walked
everywhere
while
my
friend
rented
a
bicycle
from
a
nearby
place
(the
hotel
should
be
able
to
point
you
where)
to
discover
more.
My
friend
&
I
stayed
in
rooms
201
&
211.
201
is
sun
dappled,
has
a
view
to
a
street
and
a
modest
bathroom.
211
has
more
of
a
courtyard
view
with
a
large
bathroom
with
separate
bathtub
&
shower.
Tips:
You
have
to
leave
the
room
key
with
the
frontdesk
as
it's
on
a
heavy
bell.
Book
early
and
be
specific
about
your
preferences.
Each
room
is
different
&
as
this
was
founded
in
1799
&
modernized,
there
may
be
a
few
quirks
(for
example,
it
required
two
steps
to
unlock
the
room
door).
No
fault
of
the
hotel,
there
are
some
eateries
directly
across
that
played
loud
music
in
the
evening.
Try
avoiding
the
rooms
facing
that
direction.
Suggestions:
Some
of
the
frontdesk
people
seemed
inexperienced
&
can
seem
a
little
overwhelmed
if
there
were
some
questions/requests
OR
a
larger
group
at
the
same
time.
One
sign
of
this
was
that
either
none
of
them
will
respond
or
all
of
them
will
try
to
respond
at
the
same
time
&
talk
to
each
other
while
ignoring
the
guest
who
asked
the
question/request.
Some
of
them
seem
to
be
taking
directions
from
the
porters
which
was
unusual.
A
taxi
was
ordered
for
us
to
take
us
to
the
train
station
but
direction
was
given
to
take
us
to
the
wrong
station.
Luckily,
we
discovered
it
in
time
&
had
to
scramble
into
another
taxi.
The
breakfast
staff
also
seemed
a
bit
overwhelmed.
They
seemed
taken
aback
&
flustered
when
we
asked
for
hot
water
(come
on,
we're
Americans
but
surely
a
lot
of
the
Brits
ask
for
hot
water
for
tea,
haha).
For
omelette,
there
was
only
a
choice
of
cheese
or
ham.
No
basic
vegetables
such
as
mushroom,
onion,
bell
peppers.
I'm
going
to
chalk
all
this
up
to
the
pandemic
&
challenge
in
staffing
with
experienced
staff.
