Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: It’s history and location.
Negative: I thought it was not worth the money. It’s not unique in its services and amenities. For the price I paid, I expected more. I could’ve stayed down the street for half the price and get similar “luxury”. Wanted to see if it worth it and found it wasn’t.
Summary: Meh
