low pressure thin walls
I was so looking forward to having a bath, but the water pressure in the bathroom was really low. it took forever to fill the tub. also, the walls seemed really thin. I could hear conversations from the next room, and this made it difficult to relax and sleep soundly. i think the room needs more soundproofing.

excellent stay

convenient parking fresh milk seamless morning
my four-night stay included parking, convenient. the room had a fridge, and i found fresh milk provided daily. the breakfast, ordered the night before via a qr code, ensured a seamless morning and the quality was AMAZING!!!
The only slight issue was the distance to the harbour. It required about a twenty-minute walk.

breakfast offered many choices on the menu and it was prepared fabulously. the system uses a qr code to pre-order the food the night before, this guarantees the food will be ready at a convenient time.

Adequate Stay with a Few Drawbacks

street noise fluctuating temperature
I was a little disappointed by the room. The noise from the street made it hard to sleep. the shower temperature was difficult to regulate (it kept fluctuating).
