clean roomeasy check-inrelaxing gardencold roomsmall roomconfusing system
The room was clean. Check-in and check-out were very easy. I found the garden to be most relaxing and a pleasure to sit in. The location allowed me to easily visit family.
The room felt quite cold to me. It seemed to be a very small room. Smaller than other places I have stayed. The entry and exit systems were a bit confusing, it was fortunate they were not working when I was there.

The room was clean and tidy. it was also nice and spacious. getting into the hotel and room was simple. I used a self check in process with codes sent prior to checking in.
