lovely weekend stay

super clean rooms spacious bathroom efficient staff
i booked two rooms for a birthday celebration with seven guests. the rooms had super clean surfaces and ample equipment, including a spacious bathroom. the check-in process was simple (it saved a lot of time). all the staff members were efficient and ready to assist my group.
the bar shut down surprisingly early at 7:45 pm. contacting someone for extra milk proved challenging, as reception was also closed.

Okay experience overall

friendly staff excellent food dusty room leaky shower
I found the staff VERY friendly. Mia was my waitress, and she was fabulous. The food was also excellent. I enjoyed the menu.
The room was dusty, and i wasn't given what I had paid for. Breakfast was not provided. My shower leaked, and THE noise made it hard to sleep.

cute staff early check-in clean room door code late access delayed entry
The staff were very cute and helpful. I checked in early. The landlord provided a USB adapter, which I needed. The room was clean, and there were tea and coffee making facilities.
I was not informed about a door code for re-entry at night. I came back at 9 PM and could not get in. It took some time to get someone's attention by throwing stones at a window.
