ample seating excellent salmon
I was pleased with the breakfast selection available each morning. i especially enjoyed the scrambled egg. The quality of smoked salmon was very good. I also appreciated that the lounge and bar offered ample seating and space .
the staircase to my room was VERY narrow, a little inconvenient when i was carrying my luggage.

average stay WITH SOME ISSUES

poor soundproofing breakfast service
the location provided convenient access to nearby attractions.
I found the lack of soundproofing quite disruptive so i could hear noise from other rooms and hallways. the breakfast service fell short of expectations because plates were not cleared promptly. i was also not happy with the abrupt manner in which my pricing inquiry was addressed, leaving a negative impression.

The location is within reasonable walking distance to the town center. The room was clean upon my arrival. Breakfasts was delicous, a positive aspect of this hotel.
The room lacked both air conditioning and a refrigerator. The bathroom looked somewhat dated with a fixed shower head. I had to repeatedly flush the toilet.
