i appreciated the beautiful décor throughout the hotel. the rooms were clean (super clean!) and comfortable, i must say. the breakfast buffet offered a good selection, and the manager richard was friendly. the location is fantastic too, perfect for exploring the area.
the room felt quite warm, and i found it a bit difficult to regulate the temperature. (the windows don't open very wide).

The room was spacious and well-equipped.
The check-in process was chaotic, conducted at the busy bar. I had to queue behind several people ordering drinks to get assistance (a separate desk would be more suitable). the advertised free pint at check-in required excessive explanation with the staff.
