The location was amazing! it was so easy to get to everything. the tea tray in my room was well stocked. And the complimentary gingerbread was just scrumptious! the breakfast next door was quite delicious too.
My room was more cramped than i expected, with little standing space. The ceilings and doorway were low too. i think they were dangerously low. The room was also pretty small.
