It’s all fabulous. Had a lovely start thanks. My only comments would be: The hair drier has a curled cord and it is hard to make is stretch from the plug so you can sit at the dressing table comfortably. Would prefer down pillows. The toiletries smell a bit like a pine toilet cleaner. But all in ...

Decent place! I’m grateful for the clean place to stay. If you’re traveling on a budget and want to treat yourself to a night or two in a private space, this is a good spot. 10:00 am checkout is a bit inhumane, and the shower was pretty tiny, but it did the trick for a night. The staff was sweet. ...
