Review
Waterpressure low. Soap scums in the bathtub. Only one bathrobe available. Before checkout time, housekeeping knocked and when we were slow to get out of bed opened the door. We only stayed for 1 night so we couldnt understand why anybody would come in for housekeeping before our checkout time at 11am

We stayed here for three nights. The rooms were clean and the staff was very nice. The restaurant onsite had good food, and there’s a cafe as well for early coffee drinkers! We had a great view in our room with the balcony. We would definitely stay here again.
