adequate stay with some drawbacks

undercooked sausagesweak shower
the breakfast was somewhat disappointing. the sausages seemed undercooked and lacked proper seasoning. additionally, i found the shower pressure in the room to be quite weak. it made washing my hair difficult (i have thick hair).

The room was super clean. it was just like the photos online with a spacious comfy bed. breakfast was superb. I'd say it was even better than most in a 5-star hotel! fonz was efficient and very friendly.
i think the bathroom drains smelled a bit off, probably because of a lack of use. the hotel smelled like a chinese takeaway as soon as you entered the building. thankfully, the smell wasn't in the room.

The breakfast service was very efficient and friendly. The choices were diverse. My room was very clean. It looked just like the pictures I had seen online.
The bathroom drains emitted an unpleasant odor. I think this was due to lack of use during the off-season because I did notice this on occasion.
