Amazing Stay with Great Amenities

fresh towels helpful fan
I loved the clean bedlinen and fresh towels! The hot water in the shower was perfect. A hairdryer and a fan were helpful additions, also I could open the window for some fresh air, something I really wanted.
The photos gave me a slightly misleading impression. The room had a damp scent. I found it rather inconvenient.
