The lighting was not very good, I think. The bed and pillows were so uncomfortable. The "continental breakfast" was available in a communal fridge, but the bowls were chipped. It was a little gross.

Jo provided a friendly welcome. It was a nice start. the room had everything i needed, it was very clean. i ate in the restaurant twice and the chef prepared really good food. i appreciate the complimentary breakfast with cereal, fruit, pastries and biscuits.
The bathroom window was above a generator, it was noisy. i think ear plugs would improve the experience. i had to use a glass from the bathroom for milk. A small container could be provided.
