spacious room high ceilings eggs benedict absent lift bad stair lighting overcooked broccoli
The room was quite spacious. High ceilings added to the feeling of grandeur. The breakfast offered eggs benedict, which I found good.
The hotel lacks a lift. I found the stairs were badly lit. This could pose a hazard. The broccoli served with dinner tasted overcooked.
