The fresh milk in a mini bottle was a sustainable touch i liked. breakfast was indeed super. I asked for something slightly off-menu using ingredients they had and it was handled perfectly. dinner was reasonably priced and tasty. i found the staff natural and friendly, really making the stay better.
The water dripping outside my window was constant. I had to shut the windows to get some sleep, so it was too warm

the location was certainly advantageous, providing convenient access to the town center.
Check-in was conducted at the bar. this made it difficult to hear instructions amidst the noise. the superior room was disappointing considering the price. the shower gel and shampoo were also placed too high on the wall. It was awkward to reach them when in the bath..
