i loved the room decor. it had an individual style fitting to the building era, and i find this so much better than corporate designs. i was also happy with the delicious and generous breakfast they have. it really made my mornings start on a high note.
the staff seemed a little slow. more staff members during busy hours would make such a great difference.

The superior triple room was spacious, it had ample space for luggage. The breakfast offered many choices, all were freshly prepared. The staff showed true warmth, they gave prompt service when needed.
The bar got noisy late, it disrupted sleep a little. The sink was small, it made washing a bit difficult. The area lacked parking, I had to park a distance away.
