Very nice property. The room was very clean. The bathroom bodywash & shampoo was directly monunted in the shower which is very convenient, no more little bottles. We did ask for more coffee since there was only 1 packet and we are coffee drinkers but was given more with a smile. I would definitely use this inn again, if coming back here again.
