amazing stay

ample spaceking size bedpleasant staff

I stayed three nights. my room, a superior double room, offered ample space and a king size bed. The mattress was slightly soft. the breakfast was consistently good. the staff were very pleasant and attentive, and nothing was too much trouble for them.

The window in my room couldn't be opened easily. It needed to be propped up with a book
