I must say, the room they initially gave me was not great. It appears no one bothered to check the room before I got there. It was pretty noisy during the night. the minibar was empty. They probably forgot to restock it. Honestly, it's the small things that count, you know?

spacious roombathroom windowprivacy blinddelicious dinner
I arrived after my flight and the hotel was easy to find from the airport. check-in was quick, and my room was spacious. the room had a hairdryer, iron, and kettle. the bathroom had a unique feature, a picture window into the bedroom with a privacy blind. This meant you could watch tv from the bath. dinner in the restaurant was delicious and the prices reasonable.
the towel in my room seemed like it had not been changed after the last guest, it was a small thing but a little off-putting.
