the room felt so romantic, with classical decor and peaceful vibes. i was happy to find it spacious and comfortable. breakfast felt special because the service was friendly.
the hotel restaurant was closed one day, so i had to find other plans for dinner. the absence of bath robes felt a little disappointing. i also noticed the bathroom was quite small.

underwhelming visit

rickety tabledisgusting upholstery
The room felt pretty basic. i found a RICKETY tray table with a kettle, and it seemed unsafe. also, the 'rain' style shower was fixed. I couldn't avoid wetting my hair. the window seat at breakfast had upholstery that was quite disgusting so I felt uneasy.
