MIXED feelings about this visit

friendly staffinconsistent showerslow breakfast
the staff seemed friendly enough .
The bathroom lacked adequate hot water. I struggled to get a consistently warm shower. The room was somewhat dated and the decor lacked a certain freshness. Breakfast took an unreasonably long time to arrive ONE morning, my coffee grew cold whilst i waited.

Comfortable Stay

helpful staffbag servicesecurity concern
The staff was very polite and helpful. They looked after our bags before the room was ready, which allowed us to go out sightseeing. It made our arrival seamless and stress-free.
The bathroom window could not be locked. This raised a security concern as the window could be opened from the outside, a matter i consider important.
