The room was spacious and clean. I noticed it had a hairdryer, a fridge, and coffee making facilities. Staff were helpful. I found the bed very comfortable! though the bathroom with its shower was lovely. The hotel decor was beautiful.

I was not expecting the music in the bar to be so loud. It was hard to hear each other. The directional speaker was a problem
