Very pleasant stay and experience. Spacious rooms, nice people at reception.
2 things to be worked upon:
Staff present during breakfast did not have a welcoming body language. She seemed staring at people while they eat as if she is bothered about how much they eat…..
The bathroom didn’t have any ventilation which made it very suffocating to use.
