Acceptable, but some issues existed

large roomsmall curtainsbland meal

The room was large enough and suited my needs for space.

I booked this place thinking I'd have dinner until 10 PM, but everything shut down before 9:30 PM, quite annoying. My bathroom had curtains that were too small. Anyone outside could see me in the shower. The meal I had in the bar tasted bland and was overpriced.
