Super Place, Minor Hiccups

good location prosecco touch

This hotel is great. It features a location near main attractions. The staff greeted our cockerpoo warmly. The parking situation was also good. They even left prosecco and decorations in our room because they knew about our wedding plans. I thought the staff were very nice.

The breakfast was pretty mediocre. They brought coffee and tea. No cups or saucers were available. Service lacked, yet the vegetarian option was really tasty. I wish I could have gotten a cup and saucer.
