Th Hotel was lovely and the view from window beautiful. The bathroom was clean and pretty but bathroom needed a shelving area for travel products . The room could have had better lighting - was darkish . I have to say the spiral staircase to breakfast made me dizzy . The breakfast was not as nice as others and staff at breakfast not very hospitable.

Great room and stay for the price. Room was a little on small side but only stayed for a few days so not a big issue. Biggest asset was the free breakfast. Probably the best hotel breakfast I have ever had.
