great selectionclean roomdifficult showerheadintermittent wifi
The breakfast had a great selection with excellent quality items. It was a perfect start to each day. The room was very clean and tidy, which I think is important.
The showerhead was difficult to handle when showering. I also noted that the WiFi was intermittent in the room and hard to connect to sometimes.
