The room was spotless and spacious. The staff was very courteous. Just one thing, the TV on the wall was set back a considerable distance from the bed and it wasn’t very big. If that is the only configuration possible, perhaps a larger TV screen might be in order. No biggie, otherwise a fantastic stay.

During the night, the noise coming from the main door which is just in front of our room was terribly noisy. We couldn't sleep at all. Overall, the room was clean but small, staff was friendly and helpful, breakfast was good.
