The breakfast was really nice with many options. The room was large and it had every amenity. A mini fridge was present, also a bottle opener. It was quite convenient.
My room was badly affected by the water pump operation. It caused the room to vibrate. The pump switched off irregularly. The experience was not as expected. I will consider these aspects when choosing accommodations.
