Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Excellent location! Staff were friendly. Breakfast options did not change, yet were good. Request a room in the main building rather than the annex…4 stars on some aspects rather than 5 due to staying in a small basement room in the annex- that needs to be defined more in the advertisement. Would stay the same way again though- due to price AND location!

The staff was lovely and very helpful. We loved the room, it was spacious and beautiful. The only thing we would’ve enjoyed more is the light in the room, could’ve been a little stronger, it was very dim, but I know many people like it that way, especially in Europe.
