adequate stay , with reservations

traffic noiseimpersonal service
the room i occupied faced a road. traffic noise persisted throughout the night , which was disruptive. also , the breakfast service felt somewhat impersonal. i observed a lack of attentiveness from the staff during the morning meal.

the super nice team!!! they really couldn't do enough for me. the rooms and bathroom fit out were a pleasant surprise, i was amazed.
a few things amounted to only an average review. not being able to open the windows properly was a shame. curtains let in too much light, especially in mid summer!
