the grounds were indeed pretty, ideal for a stroll.
The bed proved excessively firm. I experienced considerable discomfort after just one night, i found the lack of soundproofing unacceptable. Noises from adjacent rooms disrupted my sleep significantly, i could hear every conversation and movement. It was difficult to rest adequately.
