I enjoyed the helpful staff at the hotel. They greeted me with a friendly note, fresh pastries, and cold drinks in the fridge. The room was comfortable and well furnished with a comfortable bed. Breakfast was delicious and the evening meal was great too.

The room I occupied had a very small window. Ventilation was poor as a result. The bathroom was also tiny.

the location was amazing yes the breakfast tasted perfect too i really loved that. the staffs were friendlier than ever before actually. i even got a room and it was quaint and i could view the city from there. parking was tight, but the hotel helped me.

the room i stayed in seemed far too small, being situated in the annexe part. the internet did not work so good in the room, its poor signal definitely let me down. the tv reception was so very dreadful. the wall needed painting, underneath paint was coming through.
