The breakfast offered a great variety of options, it was delicious. The staff were kind and friendly and provided useful suggestions for local restaurants. The location was perfect as it was in the town center.
I had a room at the back adjacent to the pub, it was quite noisy until late. The bath stopper was broken in my bathroom. I had to stand in a lot of water while showering. There was no lift and lots of stairs to climb.
