the room was very lovely and comfortable. i found the wood panelling on all the walls to be very cozy and opulent. breakfast was pre ordered and it was delicious. it was cooked perfectly and served on hot plates.

the bathroom needed shelves near the washbasin. i had to place my toiletries on the floor. the wardrobe was small. it housed a fridge and a stand alone mirror but there was nowhere to place the mirror.
