a gem of a stay

amazing breakfast helpful lady

the room seemed like a dream. it was large, well-presented, and i found everything exactly how i imagined. the breakfast amazed me with numerous choices. the lady at reception was helpful, she always had time for my questions.

i booked with enthusiasm, but when i needed support, it was slow. staff looked inexperienced and it reminded me of they were still learning. responses were delayed when i needed something, and sometimes, requests were unmet.
