comfortable bedsoft sofawide choice
My en-suite room surprised me since the price was reasonable. It was super tidy and featured an comfortable bed plus a soft sofa. Breakfast offered a wide choice and my evening meal was good and reasonably priced.
The room partitions are thin. I could hear some noise from other guests.
