the breakfast was quite complete. the staff were friendly.
I was very frustrated because the room was damp, and there was a musty smell. the radiator wasn't working properly, so they gave me a blow heater. It didn't help much! also, the tv was useless, i couldn't watch anything.

Acceptable, but some issues

good selectionpoor lightingdead bulbs
The breakfast met my expectations with a good selection of items.
The room I received was not ideal. It seemed quite noisy late into the night. I also noticed that the lighting in the room was inadequate. The standing lamp was to be just for show because the bulbs were not working.
