Nice room with no hot water
We enjoyed our room very much! The view was lovely and the bed was very comfy. There was an intermittent issue with the hot water (there was none) and the explanation was that “it happens some time but should be okay later”

Great Place to stay
The room was very nice, clean and helpful, friendly staff. The only things I would mark down is a really late check in time, very thin toilet paper and the water pressure was so low you had to stand near the shower wall for the water to trickle onto you.
