a satisfactory stay
helpful stafffresh pastriescomfortable bedthin wallspatchy paintworkfew hooks
i found the staff to be very helpful . the breakfast was also very good, especially the fresh pastries. my room included a large, comfortable bed which i appreciate after a long day.
the walls in the room seemed thin. i could hear noise from other rooms which was a little distracting. the paintwork looked a bit patchy in places, it could use refreshing. there weren't many hooks in the bathroom for towels.
