I received a warm greeting and escort to my room. All features of the room were pointed out to me. I enjoyed a wonderful evening meal. I experienced a great night's sleep in a warm room. The breakfast was superb.

The sink in the bathroom was tiny. There was also no shelf in the shower. The temperature control was sensitive.
