The room was quite large. It was decorated very nicely. I found everything I needed, including hooks for wet coats!!! The shower was a lovely walk-in style. It warmed up almost immediately. The reception super nice team with local knowledge. The bar staff were friendly and courteous.
The bed was far too small. It also had an uncomfortable topper. The room had enough space for a larger bed! Breakfast was dull and very repetitive. It could have been more exciting.

I encountered issues with the room setup. The lighting was insufficient (it was dim even with all the lights on). I expected better for the price. The absence of a mini-fridge was inconvenient. I needed to store some snacks, but I could not. These details lessened my enjoyment of the stay.
