Overall we had an enjoyable stay here, but just a few minor details would have made it a great stay. The rooms have fridges with an ice compartment but no ice. After a very long a tiring journey I just wanted a cold glass of wine. Shower gel in the shower but no shampoo and conditioner. Nice and clean though and about a 10 minutes walk into the heart of town.
