Acceptable stay overall

spacious roomfree servicemissing mirrorwooden shutter
I liked the spacious room I stayed in. A free boat service was a useful amenity.
The room lacked a mirror at the dressing table. I had to sit on the floor to apply makeup. The shutter covered the TV when fully opened. There were no blinds for privacy when changing.
