The staff showed me to my room and explained breakfast times. The room had nice toiletries in the bathroom. Breakfast was excellent (especially the poached eggs!).
My room was very warm, even with the window open. The electric fan in the room did little to lower the temperature. Finding available sockets for the fans proved difficult.
