comfortable chairs easy parking walking distance
The room was newly redecorated. The bathroom was lovely. Space existed under the beds to accommodate suitcases. Two comfortable chairs and a table allowed me to avoid using the bed as a seating place. Wine glasses and chocolates were available in the room. Parking facilities are straightforward. I was given recommendations for bars and restaurants within walking distance. The host greeted me on arrival and took me through all details.
The room wasn't very soundproof.
