Warm Welcome and Tasty Bistro
warm welcomedaily servicetasty mealsadjustable thermostat
I stayed three nights on a business trip, and the staff were cute from the start. The housekeeping service ensured my room felt fresh and tidy daily. I enjoyed tasty evening meals in The Bistro. The menu offered enough variety over my stay there.
The room was overly warm, and I found no way to adjust the temperature. It was early in the year, and the outside temperatures were below 20 degrees. An adjustable thermostat would be great.

mixed feelings about this stay

my room felt dated. a strong smell from the kitchen filled the air since the window opened onto an internal area and chimneys. the peeling cabinet surfaces in the bathroom really bothered me, and i found it wasn't very clean. i left feeling pretty UNIMPRESSED.
