Very clean and comfortable property. We stayed with two kids, and the separate room with a tv was nice to have. The front desk staff especially was outstanding. A refrigerator in the room would be nice, but the staff was very gracious about storing food in the refrigerator in the check in area, so it was no problem.

This hotel was built in the 1400s and is of historical significance. It is a beautiful place to stay. The staff is very friendly and all of the room amenities were excellent. We had a suite with two full bathrooms and two bedrooms it was facing the inner courtyard so the room was very quiet. I would highly recommend anyone to stay here.
