  • Clean: Rating of 4.6 out of 5

    "It was very clean, but they could spruce up the rooms with a bit of artwork on the blank walls, new bedding and maybe even update the tub with the hose attachment (which I know is very standard in Europe, but everywhere else we stayed had at least added a shower door and an attachment to use it as a shower." source Expedia

  • Service: Rating of 4.8 out of 5

    "That said, the thing that stood out was the service provided by the concierge." source Hotels.com
