The location proved excellent. I also found the breakfast quite good. It came as a nice surprise, as I had forgotten about it. Check-in was straightforward and the team assisted with storing our bags.

The room cleaning experienced delays. previously used linen remained in the room. The bathroom bin was not emptied. I noticed makeup on the pillowcase as well.
