broken pulley cords cold bathroom
the breakfast selection had a good variety and food was served hot on hot plates.
i encountered a few issues. the room and bathroom were cold (the radiator in the bathroom did not work). the curtains looked plush, yet the pulley cords were broken, so they did not close properly.
