acceptable locationsmall tvblack flies

The location was acceptable for exploring the surrounding area.

I found the room to be excessively warm, resulting in a very restless night. The windows did open, BUT this led to an invasion of tiny black flies-lovely. The TV was also ridiculously small with subpar sound quality.

The room was too hot. I couldn't sleep well, even with the windows open. Small black flies then came into the room.

quick check-intraditional furnitureback hotel parkingfew hooks

the check-in process was quick and efficient. the hotel had a modern feel mixed with traditional furniture, which i appreciated! our bedroom was spacious and the entire hotel seemed super clean. parking at the back of the hotel was available, very convenient.

The ensuite lacked a few hooks or rails. More places to hang towels would definitely improve convenience.
