great breakfast friendly welcome building character moldy sealant ceiling cobwebs faulty machine
The building had such character, i loved that! the included breakfast was great. also, the staff provided a really friendly welcome. It.
The coffee machine in my room didn't work properly, a little disappointing. i also noticed some cobwebs on the ceiling, which indicated a slight lack of attention to detail. plus, the shower sealant in the ensuite looked a bit moldy. That definitely needs some attention.

shower gel buffet breakfast loose tap broken shutter
i thought the room was great. it had everything i needed like shampoo and body wash. the continental buffet got me off to a great start each morning, it was simple but good.
i did notice some maintenance issues. the window shutters didn't fully closed, and we was told not to use the curtains. also, the bath tap felt a little loose.
