surprisingly lovely stay!

great location clear communication
i loved the location it was perfect and the size of the room was great too the room was very clean i also found the communication regarding getting into the hotel simple i'll book again. the staff are very responsive.
the stairs were quite steep going up to my room it was a bit tiring after a long day exploring it would be nice to have an elevator or a less steep staircase maybe next time i'll ask for a lower-floor room.
