full breakfastpoorly maintainedhigh temperature

The breakfast was quite good. I chose the full breakfast option, a decision I do not regret.

The room looked somewhat worn. It seemed like maintenance was lacking and the temperature was rather high. I found the overall condition a bit disappointing. Clearly, some areas needed a refresh for the room to meet expectations.

I found dust on the open clothes shelves and on the fire hearth. the bathroom needed a fresh coat of paint to cover flaking parts. More hangers were needed in the room.

The breakfast had great table service and a wide choice was included in the price.

I was disappointed with the dust on the open clothes shelves. I also found dust on the fire hearth. The bathroom really needs paint to cover the flaking parts.
