breakfast options friendly staff modern bathroom small bedroom unreliable wi-fi low ceiling

the breakfast options were lovely. staff were very friendly and helpful, always available when needed. i also enjoyed the modern bathroom with great amenities (i loved the rainfall shower!).

the bedroom was quite small, i felt a bit constricted with luggage. wi-fi was not very reliable in the bedroom, inconvenient. the low angled ceilings on the way to the room were a bit of a challenge (i had to duck often).
