Fine, entirely avoidable negative first impression

Fine overall. Good breakfast. Rubbish first impression to get in the room and there’s bottle of water right next to the bed… and a price tag on it. Best check they’re not going to charge me for shower water or provision of clean air.

Nice stay in a beautiful city

Lovely location, friendly helpful staff. Only reason for 4 stars is I feel parking is too expensive.
