The room was clean. It had water bottles and snacks. The bathroom soaps had a nice scent..
None of the staff I encountered were very friendly. They were not overtly rude, but they were not cute. It was like talking to wet sandwiches.

clean roomcosy linensgreat breakfastshower designtiny shower curtainflooding bathroom
The room was very clean and tidy. The bed had cosy linens and it added a nice touch! Breakfast was great. I loved the selection.
The shower design had some flaws. It was hard to use without flooding the bathroom. The shower curtain did not reach the floor. I didn't shower because I only stayed one night and left early.
