quite nice visit

lovely stafffree coffeegood locationsmall roomdark bathroompoor breakfast
the staff where very lovely and accommodating. i really liked the free tea and coffee in the lobby. the location is good for seeing the area.
our room was a bit small for two people. the bathroom didn't had much light in it, it was very dark. the breakfast was not the best, so many foods were out of stock and we needed to wait for top ups.
