The room had many beverage options and a small fridge with milk. Umbrellas were available near the front door. Leaflets offered information about local attractions.
The bar area was advertised, but it was not available. I found the room to be cold initially. These issues were addressed quickly.

The room was fantastic. It featured a fridge stocked with various waters and drinks. A big selection of hot drinks was available in my room. The breakfast offered a HUGE selection, from a tasty fruit salad to a full English breakfast with excellent products.
The bar and social area was advertised, BUT it was not available. It felt VERY quiet since I was the only guest present.

The room was tidy. All the towels felt clean and soft. The amenities were fully equipped. Everything one could need was there. The rooms were bigger than the photos suggested.
The bar area was advertised, but it was not available. I found the room to be cold initially. this was addressed by the staff. The hotel was quiet, as I believe I was the only guest at the time (which isn't necessarily negative but noteworthy).
