charmed by unexpected delights
spacious roomdouble glazed windowshelpful staffsmall pool
the superior double room was quite spacious. double glazed windows ensured a very quiet night. i also found the helpful front desk staff quite approachable. the hotel location made it easy to reach points of interest.
i found that the outdoor pool was a bit small considering the number of guests. some guests dove into the pool, made relaxing difficult. i think the hotel could improve by adding signs prohibiting diving. a strange odor was noticeable near the pool as well.
Dining
9/10
The hotel's buffet restaurant offered a great variety. I really enjoyed it. breakfast stood out with its excellent offerings. the al a carte buffet dinner was delicious. I forced myself to try several desserts.
Location
