slow breakfast serviceshower water leak
I had high hopes for this place, but some things were off. the breakfast service was quite slow. I often waited a long time even for coffee. i think they could improve by having coffee and juice available to serve themselves. it was annoying to wait so long each morning! the shower had problems, too. the floor wasn't built correctly, so water leaked onto the wooden floors. i noticed previous water damage as well, it is a shame to see nice materials ruined by poor workmanship.

a comfortable stay with minor hiccups

helpful mapsample spacewater leak
i liked the maps given to me with attractions marked. it also listed restaurants close to the hotel. i received a complimentary glass of wine upon my arrival, which i thought was a nice touch. the room offered ample closet space, so i could unpack all my belongings comfortably.
the shower design allowed water to leak onto the wooden floors. there were obvious signs of prior leaks already present. getting coffee at breakfast required a long wait, even when few guests were present, a little frustrating.
