Excellent Amenities and Service

ground floor quiet room accessible room great breakfast
I stayed in a ground floor room across the road from the main building. This room was an accessible room, perfect because I have mobility issues. The room was quiet. It was well-equipped. Breakfast had a great variety. You ordered it in advance and it was prepared a la carte.
The annex walls felt thin, so I heard movements in the room above sometimes.

Acceptable but With Issues

small room uncomfortable bed
The breakfast was acceptable.
The room was quite small. The window barely opened, so the room felt stuffy. A fan did little to alleviate the discomfort! The bed springs were noticeable and did not provide adequate support.
