Really good Stay Experience
comfortable bedgood showergreat breakfastmissing mirror
The room size was good. The bed offered great comfort. I found the shower to be very good. Breakfast was notably good with varied options, and I was very impressed by the quality and presentation of the food served each morning.
The room lacked a full-length mirror. I would like to have one in future stays. I think it is practical and enhances the overall convenience.
