Excellent Amenities and Location

The room featured a big television and I could sync my tablet, a great feature for watching streaming services. The bathroom provided plenty of fluffy white towels. I also enjoyed the health club, its jacuzzi, sauna and steam room were great. Towels and locker locks were available. Breakfast was very nice.
The floorboards creaked quite a bit, a little distracting at times.
