The food at dinner tasted good, and the breakfast was fantastic. The hotel is in the centre of town, so we walked everywhere. The staff were friendly, and the room was beautiful.

The shower was not working. Also the toilet was not functioning properly. I noticed there were no hand rails on the bath.
