i arrived after a long journey. the team was ready and check-in was efficient. the rooms were very super clean and cozy. despite the restaurant being busy our meals came without delay and were tasty.
the room was cold. the walls between rooms were thin, so the next door tv was audible. this was more noticeable early morning.
