Pleasant overall.

Overall a pleasant stay. The beds were very comfy. Breakfast was a pleasant experience, very relaxed. Room cleanliness was good but some minor defects found with lighting and the shower. The communal areas should be cleaned more regularly or carefully. Some stickiness to door handles and surfaces.

The hotel was welcoming and the room was spacious, and comfortable, if a little stuffy. It was at the top of the building and the windows would only open a little. The room would have been less stuffy had the windows been opened before we arrived, and the blinds drawn. It was clean, and the linen was all good. All in all, a pleasant stay.
