mixed feelings about this hotel

small room poor soundproofing

The room was quite small. i had booked a "superior double or twin room balcony", but it felt cramped. also, the soundproofing wasn't great. I could hear street noise late into the night (it was a constant reminder that i was not at home).

A balanced stay

friendly staff fresh water room service steep ramp difficult access challenging terrain

I found the staff to be very friendly and helpful. They assisted my sister, who needed wheelchair assistance. The hotel provided fresh drinking water and room service for our needs (a nice touch!).

The hotel advertised wheelchair accessibility, but this was misleading. There was a steep ramp at the entrance. The surrounding area also had challenging terrain for wheelchair users (not ideal).
