Apr 12, 2026
The breakfast menu was fresh and had good variety. The room was clean and tidy. The service from attendants was good.
I had only one problem with this accommodation: there was no bar soap, only a body wash dispenser mounted on the shower wall about 4 feet above the tub bottom. This would have worked well for a shower, but was not good for me as I prefer a bath. In order to get soap, I had to repeatedly stand up in the water because the dispenser was too high for me to reach from a sitting-in-the-tub position.
This issue can be easily remedied by moving the dispensers for body wash, shampoo, and conditioner down to a reachable distance from the tub bottom.
