The staff was super friendly! The breakfast was excellent quality with a lot of choice. The location was great for walks in the surroundings. It was very accessible to a bus into the city. I appreciated the service!
I had to wait for our room to be ready until 6.30pm, even though check in was at 3pm. The bathroom was very, very small with a broken handle on the door. The condition was subpar. This made it difficult. I do not appreciate such delays.

I appreciated the hotel's location, as public transportation was readily available. the room had complimentary snacks and drinks, a sweet touch. the white company noir toiletries added a touch of luxury. The scent was divine.
i found the extra charge for parking unexpected, a small inconvenience during an otherwise beautiful stay.
