The location was fantastic, a highlight of my visit. The staff members were always friendly and willing to assist. The room had a dental care set, a small detail I really liked.

My room felt quite empty and echoed a lot. The bathroom's design was not ideal. My knees touched the tub while I was using the toilet. I wonder how taller guests manage there.
