friendly stafflate check-outcomfortable bednoisy roomloud waterangled ceiling
the staff were friendly. they kindly accommodated a late check-out. the restaurant provided excellent food, both for breakfast and dinner. i really enjoyed the superb service. the beds were very comfortable. i slept soundly after a day of exploring.
My room was warm and noisy. i could hear music at times. the sound of running water whenever anyone used a tap was very loud. It disrupted my sleep. the angled ceiling in my room caused a few bumps to the head, too. there was only one chair. A second would be nice.
