Reviewer Type: Couple
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Lots of things to like
Negative: Extractor fan in bathroom, not working made the room feel damp. I always like breakfast food served on a warm plate. There’s nothing worse than a fried egg on a cold plate just something for them to think about
Summary: Overall, it was a good experience, handy having the Indian downstairs
