Bathrooms are way too small, nonissue for a over night stay. TVs need to updated to streaming capable. Air conditioning system isn’t efficient and should be updated as well.

Bathroom was very small which I suppose is to be expected in a historical building; however they should at least install more than one towel hook. It was awkward with no place to put your clothes, , towel or hairdryer. Need hooks and shelves
