The staff was friendly and helpful. The food was freshly cooked and tasted delicious. The room was nice and neat it had everything I needed.
The room was a bit small. There was a faulty light in the bathroom so I showered in the dark. Replenishing of tea and coffee was missing after the first night that was disappointing.
