loud air conditioninglimited selection
The air conditioning unit was quite loud was good, but it was a nuisance initially). i also noticed that the selection of teas and coffees in the room was rather limited. More variety would have been appreciated. the absence of readily available international adaptors was an oversight, too. i had to request one from reception, though they accommodated me quickly enough,

the location provides very easy access to surrounding areas. the grounds were well maintained. the room had a comfortable bed, with clean linen and pillows. i found good water pressure in the clean bathroom. the coffee and tea facility in the room was useful.
i noticed a slight lack of wardrobe space, with only a few hangers provided. a few extra hangers would have been useful.
