mixed experience at this hotel

good selectionlack of privacythick duvet
the provided breakfast included a good selection and was restocked consistently.
the room faced a busy street, and lacked net curtains. this meant i felt exposed with the curtains open. the duvet was overly thick for the season and no alternative lighter bedding EXISTS.
