The location had easy access by different means of transport. I appreciate that the staff. The breakfast was amazing, i enjoyed it a lot.
The bathroom had no ventilation and I found it moldy. The carpet smelled bad with a nauseating odor in the room. The value for money was not the best. The price was too high for the quality.
