The staff was helpful. Fresh milk was available for tea and coffee. The towels were large, which I appreciated. Breakfast was lovely, I particularly enjoyed it. The hotel's location is super. The bed was comfortable too.
The espresso machine only makes lukewarm coffee. I would have preferred regular coffee.
