Good Food and Friendly Staff

friendly staffbeautiful roomgreat servicepoor insulation
I was happy with the welcome and departure process. The food was superb and the room was beautiful. The staff was friendly and efficient. The hotel had organization and great service.
I had an issue with insulation between walls and the ceiling. I could hear every footstep of the people in the room above. The noise made sleeping difficult.

An acceptable stay

friendly staffcoffee facilitydelicious foodabsent receptionistloud musicdirty carpet
The staff were VERY friendly. The room included tea and coffee making facilities. The food in the restaurant was quite delicious.
There was no receptionist at the desk when I arrived, SO I had to search for someone in the bar. The noise from banging doors and loud music continued until 1 AM. The carpets looked dirty.
