friendly staffspacious roomsoundproofing issue

The staff was very friendly and helpful (I appreciated their local recommendations). I booked a Classic Double or Twin Room. It was more spacious than expected. The breakfast offered a great selection, especially the scrambled eggs, fresh daily.

There was a slight issue with soundproofing. I could hear noises from outside, even with the windows closed.
