An Okay Stay with Some Disappointments
small roombathroom grime
Our room was smaller than expected. This made moving around difficult, especially with luggage. The cleanliness was not great. I saw dust in several places, and the bathroom sink had grime around it. Breakfast was a letdown, the message said only continental was available, I had seen pictures of a cooked breakfast in the reviews. The noise from other guests was noticeable.

the room (6) was generously sized with fitting furnishings. the staff welcomed me warmly and were ready to assist (i really appreciated their kindness!). there was plenty of storage space. the sausages and mushrooms served at breakfast were amazing.
the bedside lamp had a slight wobble, but it was still usable.
