The room decor was tasteful. The bed was very comfortable. I slept really well. The atmosphere in the hotel was quite lovely.
I found the room quite stuffy, even with the windows open. The provided duvet was also very thick. The parking area was full when I arrived. I had to park down the street until a space was available.
