polite waiterrelaxing atmosphereplenty parkingsmall shower

i found the breakfast and evening meal to be a great choice and waiting times were minimal, that was super. polite staff members always serve you. the restaurant has a relaxing atmosphere and plays music during breakfast. Parking spaces are always available, that is a great bonus.

the shower cubicle was surprisingly small. the bedroom walls seemed quite thin, allowing noise from the next room. Finding the 'please do not disturb' sign was difficult because it was not near the door.
