Quiet comfort, a loving escape

attentive stafflively atmospherebreakfast options
The staff WAS very attentive. I felt completely cared for. I found a microwave available in the hall. This offered convenience. The bar downstairs provided a lively atmosphere. Such joy. The price was good. I felt that it was a steal.
The absence of breakfast options required a walk. I wish there had been something available on site. It made the morning a bit less leisurely.

better water pressureloud doorspoor sleep
the water pressure in the shower was much better than at many other hotels i have visited.
The guestroom doors slammed very loudly. Not only the noise but i could also feel the force of them in the bed. this, with the endlessly screaming child in the next room, resulted in poor sleep.
