okay stay, some drawbacks

clean rooms great atmosphere customer service small room bedside table tight bathroom

i loved the spacious and clean rooms! the atmosphere was really great, and the customer service was super. it was so nice that the rooms are perfect for getting a good night's sleep (and i definitely needed it!). the views were fine, so peaceful!

our room was pretty small, and there wasn't anywhere to hang any clothing. i didn't have a bedside table, super inconvenient (i like to read before bed!). the bathroom was a tight squeeze to get into and out of because the bed was close to the radiator.

friendly staff comfy rooms limited menu tv issue

I am so excited! The location were just perfect. The staff were super friendly. They are helpful. The rooms were very comfy and the bathroom are good.

Oh, no! The menu was limited. It was like it was altered for ease of the chef. I also had some issues with the TV in my room. It would not work good.
