"We were able to get a quiet room and staff were helpful. What is challenging for older travelers is not having a phone to call reception for assistance. Up and down the stairs can be difficult and no elevators. I understand these type of properties are old but conveniences such as a refrigerator, telephone, air conditioning would bring me back to stay without hesitation."
