cute staffsmall roompoor bathroom
The staff were very cute, and I felt welcome right from check-in.
The room was small. There was barely enough space to open a suitcase. The bathroom had poor accessibility. A glass door in the shower was practically on top of the toilet, and it always made a mess! I have never complained about a hotel on this site before now. I feel it was too expensive for what it offered.
