Really good Stay in a Historic Setting
courtyard room room comfort delicious food
The courtyard room offered a unique sense of security with parking visible from the window. The room had both comfort and character.. I found the food delicious. The staff acted friendly and provided helpful service.
I noticed some noise from other guests between 3 a.m. and 6 a.m. I assume the walls and doors did not soundproof effectively.

The staff demonstrated attentiveness and politeness. They managed food presentation with excellence, including a wide selection for both dinner and breakfast. I was also pleased with the luxurious touch of bath robes.

My room included comfortable bedding. There were also tea and coffee facilities available with bottled water. I enjoyed drinking chocolate and biscuits provided for those with a sweet tooth, too.

I was disappointed with the room. it was quite small. Barely enough space existed for our cases. the bathroom lighting was too bright and detracted from any possible ambiance while i had a bath.
