adequate stay in an historic building

efficient staffspacious roomprivate parkingsewage smellbasic bedroomnon-functioning sauna
the staff were very efficient. they seemed hardworking. the room was clean and quite spacious. i also liked the private car parking a lot.
when i walked into the bedroom, i noticed a sewage smell in the bathroom. it seemed from the shower u-bend after flushing. the bedroom seemed basic, especially considering it was an upgrade. the sauna wasn't working in the pool area.

on-site parkingslow breakfast serviceunstable shower door
the on site car parking was acceptable due its convenience in the middle of town.
the breakfast service was slow on the first day, and i received my simple cooked breakfast nearly half an hour after ordering. the serving size for the price i paid felt quite stingy. additionally, i informed the desk about some loose stair rods leading to the breakfast room, but they remained unfixed the next day. also, the shower door felt unstable and threatened to fall off.

The breakfast buffet did not include many gluten-free options. I found only fruit and yogurt available. this limited my choices considerably and was quite disappointing. also, the gym was smaller than expected. it only had one treadmill and a set of dumbbells.

great sizecentral locationclean jacuzzisewage smellshower u-bend
the swimming pool was a great size. it was also clean, with a jacuzzi and sauna available, all private for a set amount of time. the location is central with parking. the beach and shops are only minutes away.
when i walked into the bedroom, there was a sewage smell in the bathroom. i think this was caused by water being sucked out of the shower u-bend when the toilet was flushed.
