Acceptable stay with a few issues

tiny shower stall church bells

The staff were friendly and helpful. Everything was fine.

The bathroom shower stall in my Beautiful Room was tiny. This became annoying quickly. The church bells next door rang every morning at 7am for a full minute. It was disruptive to sleep.
