poor reception service cramped room
The location was acceptable for exploring nearby areas easily.
The reception service was pretty bad I must say. Staff gave no information about breakfast times or locations and pointed to the luggage carrier for details a real cop-out. Also our room felt cramped hardly enough room to open a suitcase.
