I adored the beautiful decorations, especially the nice touches. the bed proved wonderfully comfy. the bath under the bay window was especially special! amenities were top notch. Everything felt so luxurious. i am already looking forward to returning!
The car park filled up quickly sometimes! it was never impossible to find a space. It just required a little patience.
