The staff was FRIENDLY and very helpful. The location was great. It was close to many tourist spots. The breakfast included a wide variety of options. I found the room to be super clean.
The plumbing made LOUD noises throughout the night. The duvet provided was too small for the bed. This affected my sleep quality. More milk in the room would have been helpful.

The staff greeted me warmly and seemed engaged in my stay. I found the room CLEAN.
The water pressure in the shower was HORRIBLE. I could barely get any water to come out, and the toilet barely flushed at all. It really detracted from the experience.
