the breakfast filled me up for the day. the spa was clean and relaxing, a great way to unwind. the staff did everything to.!!
The hotel could be noisy. It came from outside since there was no double glazing. the tv was small, and there were only a few channels. i thought a full update to modernize the rooms would be great.

the hotel location is central, so it was easy to access places for dining and shopping.
The room i got was disappointing. It was small. the wardrobe door was not opening because of the damper. the vegetation outside limited light into the room, and insects came in when the doors was open. the coat hangers quantity was not enough for two people.
