friendly staff good breakfast convenient location dipping beds missing restaurant average expectations
The location of the hotel is really GOOD. I also appreciated the friendly staff who dropped us at the station when it rained. The morning breakfast spread contained a nice selection.
The beds dipped quite a bit. I expected a bit more overall for a hotel in the charming village. There is NO restaurant for hotel guests.
