pleasant stay with great service

excellent heatingcomfortable bedhot wateruncomfortable pillows
the large room had excellent heating and a very comfortable king size bed. i enjoyed the walk-in shower with plenty of hot water. table service was excellent and the food prices were realistic. breakfast arrived quickly and was piping hot, though a slightly larger portion would be ideal.
the pillows were uncomfortable and alternatives would improve the sleeping experience i also noticed some high level cobwebs which could be addressed.

The room featured a spacious layout, it included modern amenities. i found the bed comfortable. I rested well after a long day. free wifi was available. It allowed me to stay connected.
the shower temperature fluctuated, it made maintaining a constant comfortable water flow difficult. this issue slightly detracted from an otherwise enjoyable experience.

solid stay, minor hiccup

spacious roommini fridgedecent price
The rooms were spacious. I noticed a mini fridge. i was checked in late, yet they kindly offered to fix something for me after the kitchen closed. the bar prices seemed decent. good-sized rooms were also a plus.
i stayed during a family wedding nearby. at check-in, they initially booked two rooms when i actually booked five. it was eventually sorted, though.
