Acceptable stay

easy locationfriendly staffdark roomfaulty switch
The location was good. The staff were very friendly and helpful . I appreciated the water provided at check-in, a nice touch. The breakfast was also good with enough choice.
My room did not have a tv, even though it was listed in the room description. The electrical switches were old, and most of them did not work properly. The room was also dark, since it faced the back courtyard.
