understated elegance shines

room safe air conditioning quick checkout
the hotel lobby lacked a proper lounge, just a couple of chairs near the front desk. my superior double room included a safe and air conditioning. complimentary water and cookies were a lovely touch, i saw it on arrival to the room. breakfast was really good, and checkout was quick.
the bathroom lacked an outlet for the hairdryer, i think this is inconvinient. i had to dry my hair in the room instead, and it felt awkward.

the staff were attentive and friendly. i found the service to be excellent. the hotel and rooms have a real character and charm.. it was a nice experience.
