fantastic garden and super helpful staff

The garden was a real highlight of my stay. It offered a relaxing space. the staff were super accommodating and always ready to help with a smile. i found the free coffee in the lobby very convenient. i also appreciated the fridge in the room, a super nice touch.
I found the heat in the room a bit uncomfortable. there was no air conditioning, so i had to rely on the fan. even with the window open, it remained quite warm throughout the night. This made sleeping difficult.
