mixed experience, some issues
tight parking dated furniture
the breakfast was adequate, with a standard selection.
the parking situation was difficult. it was tight even with a smaller car, and i can imagine it is worse during peak season (especially since it was already tricky in october). the room felt quite dated, with noticeable wear and tear on the furniture.
