delicious breakfast hot meal spacious bathroom weak shower coat rack temperature control
The breakfast was delicious. The chef offered a hot meal of my choice, a very nice touch. I appreciated the clean and cozy room. It had a spacious bathroom.
The shower was not very powerful. I needed time to set the temperature as it became very hot. There was no wardrobe, only a coat rack in the room.
