wide choice attentive staff poor lighting flooding bathroom

The breakfast offered a wide choice of products. The staff were very attentive . The owner also provided excellent service. I was able to easily reach the city center with a short walk..

The room lacked tea and coffee facilities. The lighting in the room was also poor. It was difficult to shower without flooding the bathroom. I found this quite inconvenient.
