good coffeepersistent drippingdistant parking
The location was good. It was a short walk to the main attractions. Breakfast met expectations (with good coffee).
The room was smaller than expected. There was a persistent dripping sound from the bathroom pipes throughout the night. It made sleep difficult. the advertised parking was full upon my arrival, and i had to find street parking quite a distance away.

mattress supportunneccessary furniture
The bed was definitely not up to par. Some of the mattress support slats seemed to have given up. I weigh barely anything. The room felt really cluttered because it had unneccessary furniture. There were no staff around to ask for basic things like milk during breakfast. It was quite annoying.

i noted some difficulty getting all cars in the parking area. i feel some guidance would be helpful, specially when everyone arrive at the same time. i managed, but it was a bit stressful.

the room decor was superb and i found prosecco and chocolates upon arrival.. it was a lovely surprise. the continental breakfast offered a great selection. kathryn allowed us to park early and even said we could leave our car after checkout.
i found no hot food except an egg on offer, and fruit in a bowl looked a week old.
