a satisfactory stay

convenient location variety of food coffee service food selection

The location was good. i found a bus stop very near to the hotel and some places to eat. i was able to enjoy some nice walks nearby, and that was a plus for me. the breakfast included a variety of fresh food and drink options. i liked that tea and coffee were served at my table. It felt a bit special.

the noise from the hallway seemed amplified in my room and i hear conversations more clearly than i expect. i think there is a need better sound insulation.

few outlets unsafe lift

The room had very few electrical outlets (only one spare). The lift felt quite unsafe upon entry (it made strange noises). Noisy guests in the room next door kept me up into the early hours. I found it rather disruptive (despite earplugs).
