faulty air conditioning loud music
The staff was helpful during check-in. It was an acceptable experience.
The room was not what I expected. The air conditioning did not work properly, and I could not control the temperature. Loud music from the bar downstairs kept me awake late into the night. I would not return.

a romantic escape

friendly staff quiet room large bath
i felt welcomed by the friendly staff. the room was surprisingly quiet (i usually have trouble sleeping in new places). i had a wonderful large bath. i really enjoyed the biscuits available with the coffee station.
i noticed a small chip of wood missing from the desk in my room (but it hardly detracted from my stay).
