reasonable stay

friendly staff pastry selection limited menu poor soundproofing

The breakfast was great (especially the selection of pastries). the staff was friendly and helpful. They quickly addressed all our questions.

our room lacked sufficient soundproofing, and we could clearly hear noise from the hallway. the restaurant menu seemed somewhat limited, especially for vegetarian options.
