The staff was helpful with directions. they suggested a lovely walking route i enjoyed the first day! the family room was spacious. It easily accommodated my luggage. the breakfast buffet offered a variety of options, including fresh fruit.

The bathroom had some noticeable mildew in the shower. i also found the bed to be a bit too firm for my liking, this made it hard to sleep well. the walls seemed thin. I could hear conversations from the adjacent room sometimes.
