The location was central, a definite advantage. breakfast included fresh options each morning. i found the staff cute and helpful, assisting with directions. the experience staying on a boat was unique. I liked it a lot.

Soundproofing was minimal. I could hear noises from other rooms during the night. this did disrupt my sleep somewhat. i hope they find a solution.
