helpful recommendations friendly staff breakfast options air conditioning small room minibar charges

i enjoyed the friendly staff and their helpful recommendations. the breakfast options were good (the pastries were a real treat!). my room, a superior double room, was quiet, which i appreciated.

The air conditioning was controlled by reception, not in the room. the room was a bit small for my liking. i found the minibar charges a bit sly. The items on the desk should be clearly marked as chargeable.
