The breakfast was cooked fresh as ordered. I liked that. the location was in the heart of the village! decent parking was available.
The room needed new mattresses. The one i had reminded me of springs were pushing into my back! the pillows were very flat. i could hear everyone moving around upstairs. it's an old building.
