great breakfast friendly staff member tree blocking limited view
the breakfast was great i will say. the staff member was friendly too.
the room was a bit of a letdown. i booked the west turret, i read reviews, i knew it was small. what i didn't expect was a tree blocking 70% of the view.

hard bed powdery eggs
The location was acceptable. It allowed easy access to local attractions.
I was quite disappointed, the bed was really hard and gave me back pain throughout the night, the walls were also thin and i could hear conversations from adjacent rooms clearly. breakfast was mediocre. The eggs tasted powdery and seemed like they came from a mix, not freshly prepared.
