freshly prepared fooddrink selectionhelpful staffkitchen noiseoutdated tvstair access
the breakfast included freshly prepared food. i particularly enjoyed the selection. the room included a variety of drinks like tea, coffee, and hot chocolate (i found this very thoughtful). the staff were friendly and helpful, especially with local information.
my room was close to the kitchen. i experienced some noise early in the morning because of this. the tv in my room seemed a bit outdated. the stairs to the upper floors were a little challenging with luggage.
