Convenient and Comfortable Stay

special access reserved table soft bed
The special access arrangement for my late arrival was very helpful. A table was reserved each morning, very thoughtful. I found the bed quite soft, which suited me perfectly.
The room could have benefited from a slightly deeper clean.
