I stayed in a lovely room. It had a fine view from its windows. The location is excellent for exploring the area. The buffet breakfast was great (I liked the variety!). The staff was helpful.

The bar remained closed . I saw pictures that clearly show it open and stocked, so that was a bit disappointing. The mattress was also uncomfortable. I believe it should be changed soon.
