Hidden Gem Experience

modern decor ironing board hot drinks
The room had modern decor. It felt very spacious. I appreciated the inclusion of an iron, ironing board, fan, and hairdryer. Each proved useful. Shampoo, body wash, and conditioner were available for me. Bottled water and hot drinks were also available.
I found that the restaurant was closed, so I had no option for an evening meal. I had to find food elsewhere. Breakfast was continental and quite minimal.
