Luxurious Bathing

The bathroom in my room was beautifully presented and spotlessly clean. I particularly enjoyed the spacious shower area, despite some issues with the water temperature, overall it added a touch of luxury to my stay.

Cozy Retreat

I loved the little sofa with a cosy table in my room. It was the perfect nook for reading during my downtime, making the space feel like a home away from home.
