the room was lovely and super clean. Staff were both friendly and helpful. the meals in the dining room tasted beautifully cooked and looked well presented.

the music from downstairs was blaring all day and night at full volume, even my tv couldn't mask it. i opened the window because it was a nice day but this made the music louder. the smell of frying filled my room all night and then from early morning.
