Very clean and a woman traveling alone I felt quite safe

Cons:

I could hear the guest in the room beside me snoring! I also could hear him peeing in the toilet. Not a pleasant sound during the night.

Henkilökunta ja siisteys todella hyvät, aamiaisessa paljon kehitettävää
Pros:

Erittäin ystävällinen henkilökunta. Siisteys.

Cons:

Kertakäyttöastiat aamiaisella. Aamiaiselta puuttuivat kasvikset kuten esim. tomaatti, kurkku tai salaatti. Pekoni loppui eikä sitä tuotu lisää, vaikka aamiasen sulkeutumiseen oli yli tunti aikaa.
