narrow stairs luggage issues
the breakfast choices were satisfactory.
Access to my room was difficult. the stairs were narrow, and i found it hard to carry my luggage up and down. It was a bit dangerous. this could be a real problem for elderly guests or those with mobility issues.

fresh breakfast fluffy towels comfortable bed high quality
i found the breakfast lovely. there was so much choice, and everything tasted so fresh. the fluffy towels in my room were a small luxury that i greatly appreciated. the bed, oh the bed, it was soft and supremely comfortable. EVERYTHING felt so high quality, a true treat.
the room was small, a slight inconvenience in an otherwise perfect stay.
