SOLID stay
vegetarian option great value
The breakfast was great. I liked the menu adapting when i asked for a vegetarian option, they were happy to help. The request system at night for breakfast the next morning works fine, even with a slight misunderstanding one night, something was still made quickly. it was VERY good value.
