No comment on breakfast, my wife and I left before breakfast. The bed was super comfortable and the restaurant was superb. The hotel itself is old but is maintained well. It has many unique features but the courtyard entrance was our favorite. Lastly, the hotel staff were courteous, helpful, and professional.
