high quality meals friendly staff great room
This was my BEST stay! I met such friendly staff at reception. Karol checked me in and assisted me in selecting a room, it had a GREAT view! I ate at the restaurant. The meals were high quality and of great value.
The bed felt AWFUL, almost like a brick. Pillows were inadequate and there was a noticeable draught from the window making it quite cold.
