Lovely Stay near the Canal
delicious mealscomfortable roomnice visual
The restaurant Was pretty good with delicious meals and perfect service during both the evening and breakfast. Our room was restful. It was comfortable and clean with a super clean bathroom and good-sized towels. The setting by the canal and ponds created a nice visual experience, especially while having breakfast.
I noticed some very slight wear and tear in the hallway carpeting. It could use a refresh.
