charming accommodation!
spacious room valet parking safe area
the room was very spacious, a detail i appreciated after a long day. i slept well because i did not hear other guests around me. the valet parking was also a perk (it really helped with luggage). i was able to easily walk into the heart of the city, and i felt safe in the area.
The pillows were flat, so i recommend asking for extras. A simple fix i didn't realize until my last night.

The breakfast offered a wide array of choices. It included fruits, juices, good coffee, breads, eggs, jams, meats, cheeses, local tarts, and local cheeses. The room had ample space. There was a comfortable bed and a lounge area.
I found it inconvenient that I could not control the air conditioning from my room. This made sleeping difficult because of the excessive heat.

small bathroom disturbing fire alarm
the breakfast was acceptable.
I was disappointed with the state of the bathroom. It felt cramped. the shower itself wasn't great either. also, the fire alarm sounded three times one night, and it seemed like no one knew what to do, and this really disturbed my sleep after my long drive (i was exhausted).

The breakfast included many choices and fresh omelettes were available each morning. The hotel provided water dispensers on every floor which was convenient. The staff were friendly and allowed early check in before 3pm. I enjoyed the heated pool in the evenings.
The air conditioning was not controllable directly from the room making it a bit too warm to sleep well
