Balanced experience

friendly staff helpful staff quiet room peaceful room very clean rooms missing telephone absent telephone small room cramped room missing amenities
The staff was very friendly, always ready to help (they were amazing). My room was quiet, perfect for getting some rest. The rooms were very clean also.
I found no telephone in the room, something i consider essential. The room felt a bit small, especially when traveling with luggage. No amenities were provided, which would have been a plus (a little detail makes a difference).
