Minor Issues During Stay
good breakfastsmall roomfalse advertisement
The breakfast was good and covers all my wishes for a morning meal.
My room was very small, that wasn't good. The description online said there was a balcony, but it was a lie. You can only get to the balcony by climbing out the window.
