i arrived early and the staff allowed me to leave my bags. upon my return, they had taken my bags to my room. my room was clean, which i found perfect for my stay. the breakfast menu offered many choices, also catering for gluten-free diets.
i noticed noise from the bar downstairs until late in the evening. this made it a little difficult to fall asleep quickly. earplugs could be a simple solution.
