Really good Experience
attentive staff breakfast option rainfall shower
I found the staff was attentive. They addressed all requests promptly. The breakfast included various options. I especially enjoyed the locally sourced honey. The room had blackout curtains. These ensured a restful sleep. The bathroom featured a rainfall shower, quite invigorating. The provided toiletries were high-quality.
I noticed the mini-fridge in the room was somewhat noisy. I hope they address this issue soon.
