Wonderful Stay!

wide selectioncooked optionspacious roomconvenient timing

The breakfast had a wide selection including both continental options and cooked items. My spacious room featured everything I needed. I really enjoyed the convenient breakfast timing, with freshly cooked options available over an excellent time range.

The front desk wasn't staffed after 4 PM, and that caused some trouble when there were loud pipe noises in my room. I found it difficult to reach anyone during those hours.
