the staff was friendly and helpful, ready to assist with any requests. there was a good choice of food available in the restaurant. the room itself was lovely and clean, which i appreciated (always a good start!). the freestanding bath in my room was a real treat.

I noticed the bed had sharp wooden corners. I bumped my shin a few times.

acceptable foodmold around tapssad pillows

the restaurant did alright with the food, so that was acceptable.

The bathroom, well, i've seen cleaner public toilets. mold seemed to be cultivating a new civilization around the taps. plus, the bed was like sleeping on a slightly padded plank. Three sad, soft pillows didnt help at all.
