Pros:

La posizione

Cons:

La camera non era insonorizzata. Le tende non oscuravano, quindi non sono riuscita a dormire. Camera 11 senza doccia, ma con vasca inutilizzabile a causa del tetto spiovente. Spazi comuni visibili agi ospiti utilizzati come depositi. Non vale il prezzo.

Enjoyed our stay there.
Pros:

The location was good, able to walk to restaurants, plus it was on the river. We had a car, & were very glad there was parking on-site. The restaurant served very good food, a little expensive. No elevators though. Staff was great. Room was a good size. Shower was good. There was tea , coffee & hairdryer available in room. We enjoyed our stay there.

Cons:

Just that there was no elevator, but it was very charming. Stairs weren’t bad. We stayed in the Windsor place next to hotel.

Pros:

Grande chambre et bonne literie

Cons:

Nous avions une chambre au rez-de-chaussée où les deux grandes fenêtres sans rideaux données sur le parking .Nous avons du pour préserver notre intimité fermer les doubles rideaux à 17h et ne les ouvrir que lorsque nous avons quitter l'hôtel à 9h30 .bruit dû aux voitures et le matin les livraisons
