Excellent Experience

spacious roomclean amenitysoft bedworn staircase
The rooms were spacious and impeccably clean. They featured all expected amenities. I particularly appreciated the presence of a kettle with provisions for coffee and tea. The bed was wonderfully soft, ensuring a restful sleep. The staff were also attentive to requests.
I noticed that the staircase leading to the room was a bit worn. This detracted slightly from the overall aesthetic of the hotel.
