Mixed Feelings About This Stay
good breakfastremote control heatingrefused refund
The breakfast provided many choices and it was quite good.
I arrived, and my room was quite cold. All heating was off. The heating seemed to be controlled remotely, and it went off again later. I left because of this and the owner refused a refund.
