lovely and accessible

warm welcome leisure facilities
the staff gave a warm welcome at reception, giving all needed information. a courtesy call occurred after settling in, checking if everything was satisfactory. access to leisure facilities was included in my room rate. getting to the metro for transport was easy.
the bar closed the till early. i could only charge to my room and they would not take my money. i went to bed early even though the bar remained open.
