The atmosphere when you enter is clean and decorated with flowers. Off to the right is the large and inviting breakfast area. There were stairs and an elevator, but also a flat incline to the first floor. We could easily roll our suitcases up which was very convenient. Our room was quiet and just right with two double beds. The only suggestion I would make is to have some gluten free/dairy free choices for breakfast ie. nuts or other plant based options.
